I've had a Tiburon since April and I've always wondered where the name "Tuscani" came from. Is it like a nick name for Tibs or something? I see loads of NT members that swap the Hyundai logo's for Tuscani "T" 's... I feel like I walked into a party that I wasn't invited to! Someone enlighten me!

Yup tuscani is korea and canada......Coupe is in europe and tiburon USA
There is no differance between a tiburon and tuscani except for a few cosmetic changes such as interior cup holder,heated seats, badges, chrome exterior handles,metalic gas cap etc.....also the tuscani elisa is the 2.7

"The Hyundai Tiburon (Korean: 현대 티뷰론) known as the Hyundai Coupe (현대 쿠페) or Tuscani (투스카니) in some markets, is a compact coupe that was produced by Hyundai Motor Company from 1996 to 2008. The name "Tiburon", meaning "shark" in Spanish, is the name given to the North American, Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Austrian production of the vehicle. It is known as the Hyundai Coupe in some European markets.[1]

It has been branded as the Tuscani (투스카니) andTurbulence (터뷸런스) in the home South Korean market."

That was out of the first paragraph on the Wiki page for the Coupe/Tiburon/Tuscani.
And the farther down towards the bottom:

"In Canada, a special edition of the Tiburon is sold as a "Tuscani edition"."

Nothing about the yellow color, but i think that may be right.
