Default Mystery car

Wanted to ask this one for a while.

There's a car that looks kind of like current Eclipse/GTO/Tiburon/Genesis Coupe. I've seen several them in Brooklyn. It sports a logo that I dont recognize, i think its dark red letter "T".

The car doesnt particularly look exciting or expensive, but fairly sporty. Its a coupe. Any ideas what it could be??

was it this?


if so, it's just a normal Hyundai Tiburon that someone switched the badging with that of a Korean market Hyundai Tuscani.

Pretty much the same way in which some of us re-badge our Lexus' to the appropriate Japanese Toyota emblems( Celsior, Windom, Altezza, Soarer, etc.), some Hyundai owners re-badge their cars to the appropriate Japanese names. Hyundai Tiburon and Hyundai Tuscani are the same vehicle.
