Ok, to make a long story short. My check engine light came on after i filled up (it usually does this because of some censor malfunction) ok.... so i continue driving, and then notice steam coming from my hood. I immediately pull over and have the car towed to the closest auto shop.
Diagnosis: Melted Radiator, 1 busted head gasket that all need replaced.

So, is the new Genesis Coupe going to replace the Tiburon? Are they going to discontinue the Tiburon when it comes out? I remember when Toyota replaced the Supra with Celica, and then Celica with the Scions. I really hope that Hyundai doesn't do this; as fun as rear wheel drive cars are, I really like driving a front wheel drive.

I would have checked out for that price on that day. However, that's a barebone model and only if you qualify for every rebate.
In any case, I went back and forth about the GT and GS alot, and had a hard time deciding between the two.
They had a Black...

Hi guys,
I test drove an 05 tuscani with the 2.7 and the shiftronic tranny today, nice ride, really want to buy it but I noticed at low idle it has a very light sort of intermittent rumble to it, nothing dramatic, but i could hear a change in pitch and felt a bit of shake in the steering wheel.
Has anyone else experienced this?
