With the pending release of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, there’s no real room anymore for the Tiburon.  As such, Hyundai has announced that 2008 will be the last model year for this quirky little “sport” coupe.  All in all the Tiburon wasn’t a bad car.  It certainly won’t become a classic, but it offered a [...]

2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

Remember the awesomeness of the 2008 Porsche Turbo?  You remember, that 500 HP 4.8 liter turbocharged V8 powered beast.  Yep, that one.  Well, Porsche wasn’t satisfied at all.  To that effect, they are bringing back the Cayenne Turbo S – with a power increase.
