Got da Internet Goin Nutz
Does look great!
It looks like this is a set up from a consumer survey thing. Notice how all of the badging is covered with tape for both cars. I did the same thing for the Lincoln truck a few years back.

Huh? Those look like 18". Considering the current Tiburon in top trim wore 17" wheels, I don't see any reason why a new car would not have at least optional 18" wheels in its top trim level.

Some initial reported specs....
- 2.0 Liter Turbo will have 215HP 217TRQ. Price starting at $19,900.
- 3.8 Liter V6 will have 300HP and 280 TRQ. Price starting at $25,900.
Features:
Ipod integration in center console.
Bluetooth w/ stock head deck.
Sunroof.
Limited slip.
Marketing will tell if it:
MIGHT have Brembo brake upgrades.
MIGHT have its own badge. (Tuscani for example)
It keeps the LED turn signals on the side mirrors.

To bad it doesn't have the V8 in it (maybe a future version will)... but with a 300hp v6, it looks like it's right there spec wise with the 'stang...
Wonder what the weight and MPG will be...
I'll have to add the Tiburon to my shopping list. I think a 20K RWD car would work for me...

Looks nice...much better than the current gen.
This is what the current gen Eclipse should have looked like.
