EDIT: Here is the link to the pics too. After lookin at a glimpse of the specs, it would be a great DD. It has a Turbo 2L.

Its pretty cool that they are gonna be putting a 2.0L turbo in it though. If you can get those well optioned for under $20k, that may be a great DD.

Yea I guess you could put the tiburon in that category, but I was more referring to stuff like the Si, Type R's and stuff like that since its an accent R.

the tiberon is nothing like an accent...
