Here is the final generation of the Hyundai Tiburon. While it doesn’t have the best performance ever (and quality is debatable), I don’t think Hyundai has made a better looking car since.
And Hyundai ran it in Manual all the way up to its discontinuation. I’d even say its top speed of 137 mph was respectable and with the car’s massive aftermarket, could easily be faster.

El Tiburon was a fine looking car, a little light on power, handling, refinement, reliability and resale value, but a really good looking car.

Performance wise, these aren’t the best, but I've still had a soft spot for them; as far as entry level coupes go, these are very attractive, especially compared to some of the other stuff Hyundai was making at the time

They key was that they avoided cheesy styling cues that could end up making it look dated later on. As a result, it now looks newer than the first gen Genesis.

I’ve always thought these were pretty decent looking, and a big improvement over the previous gen (yuk!).

Not a fantastic driver, but I always catch myself staring at these. Especially from a distance, they look like something exotic.

Great looking car, but IMO not the best Hyundai has made.

Exactly. It doesn’t seem to follow any design trends. They took the shark theme and stuck to it. The lines all work, it’s devoid of weird kinks, gaping holes, and all of the characteristics that make a “boy racer”.
