Oops, but the rest of the point behind my post still stands. I wonder if Hyundai named it the Tuscani after a region in France where a famous race circuit is?

That would be Tuscany and it's a region in Italy.

You folks know the body camo doesn't follow the actual body style of the car, right?

Doh, I misread a French Tuscani driving club. I better quit posting anything about grammar or geography.

Actually the Tuscani name is sort of befitting considering most of the body was penned by ITALDesign.

Also I don't know if it is just me or that upcoming coupe seems to have similar lines to a Jaguar XKR.

I wonder if they fixed the new tibbys clutch yet? I was considering buying one a few months ago till i started to read how many folks are having to drop new clutches in them with very low mileage, 20k-40k miles.
