From my understanding Its the name of the tiburon everywhere else. So, a lot of people put those badges on in kinda a Korean domestic market style. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry you guys are both wrong. It is just the highest trim level offered everywhere else. They still call them Tiburons, but have the Tuscani as the top level.

"...though it is called the Hyundai Coupe in world markets. It has also been known by the moniker Turbulence and Tuscani in the South Korean market"

no "tuscani" sold by hyundai in the USA, only tiburons.

I never said the Tuscani was sold here.

Until recently (this year I believe) in Canada and other markets, the Tuscani was the top of line Tiburon.

check the hyundai corporate site. in north america(us and canada) its called the tiburon, and canada had used "tuscani" for the name of its luxury package or whatever. no performance increase. in european and asian markets, its either called the Hyundai Coupe, or the Tuscani, not "tiburon".

theres a rumor that the Tuscani name came because the body of the car resembles the Ferrari 456..since Ferrari is Italian and Tuscany is a country in Italy.. but thats just a rumor.

oh, and punctuation is your friend.
