The live axle has been very effective for Ford.  I just prefer a road carver with a little more direct feedback than the live rear axle provides.  The live rear axle is still a great piece of technology that is cost effective in the performance world.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J.Crew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2007 1:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Other then the Mustang, GM is brining back the sexy looking Camaro (independent suspensions all around). The 240SX was affordable RWD that wasn't successful. The base RX-8 is 26K.   AWD WRX is also bloody cheap and affordable. There is already Solstice, Miata for likely what the Tiburon is going to be priced.  <br><br>Its good to have competition in the market, but there have been (and still are) great affordable RWDs.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Castle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2007 5:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[As Toyota mulls over designing a car to appeal to enthusiasts, Hyundai is already out of the gates.

Let's form a committee to discuss what a good looking car could be...  Notice that the Toyota game plan did not mention "fun to drive" as part of that suit filled rigid committee.  Hyundai has been consulted by and learned from Porsche on suspension design in the past.  I am sure the lessons learned from them will pay off on this new RWD fun toy.  I have not been a huge Hyundai fan, but I am warming up to their newer stuff.  This Tib could be a watershed product for performance enthusuasts.  Like the original GTI for VW, or the 2002 for BMW.  Cheap and fun - they better keep that price down though.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J.Crew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2007 3:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[My wife had a 2000 Tiburon 5MT.  It was a blast to drive.  Had ok torque down low (for an I4) but lacked up high.  It also felt like it had a 50lb flywheel. It was slow to match revs.  But this car handled so well.  It had a good bit of roll but it turned in very well.<br><br>I would love to see them apply their handling knowledge to a RWD sport compact.  Lets hope they stick with the I4 turbo and make say 260HP and keep it bellow 2700lbs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ermax18]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2007 5:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[cant frigggiing wait.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[felipe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2007 3:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes. This is what's up. If the V6 makes even close to 240bhp and is under $27k, then Hyundai has yet another reason to be taken seriously.

A base 350Z has 306 hp, and can easily be negotiated down to 25k and it has the Z-car badge recognition.  If Hyundai can undercut it in price or beat it on refinement, Nissan will have some serious redesigning to do.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[1337]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2007 3:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/confirmed-hyundai-making-tiburon-replacement-rwd/</guid><description><![CDATA[According to carsdirect, an RX-8 can be had for $22k.  It doesn't have 300+ hp, but it does have a chuckable rwd platform and a screaming rotary engine.
