Nope. I thought all FWD cars are mounted with a transverse engine.

 

Depends on how much the car weighs and if Hyundai can fix their engine-response problems.

Of the 3 Hyundais I've driven (all V6 models), they were EXTREMELY sluggish when driving around. I dunno if its the gearing, the engine programming, or a restrictive intake, etc... but it SUCKS. I dont like flooring a car, then waiting a few minutes for it to downshift (took forever seemingly on these Hyundais) then finally accelerate. Or wait for its groggy rear to finally get off the light.

My mother's 4-cyl 2006 Solara, while it would probably lose at flat-out acceleration, can jump off a light or across a street during a turn FAR more quickly and responsively than the Hyundais she and I drove when she was shopping.

 

Very few FWD cars have longitudinal-mounted engines.

But I wouldn't be surprised if this tiburon will come in RWD

 

i'm just being a smartass, but saying some FF cars do have longitudinal engine layout (Honda, Audi, etc).

but yeah, most likely FR.

 

Which year?

This lovely V8 Honda Legend (Acura RL) with ITB's!!!

 

No, I appreciate you calling me out on that, learn something new.

 

The new Tiburon will indeed be rear-wheel drive...

Toyota needs an affordable rear-wheel drive car. Scion badge would work...
