The problem with the new Elantra is that if they do price the turbo at RM135K, even if it's the fastest most reliable car with the best service, most buyers will turn to T & H because of the future resale value.
I think it's mostly the resale value that everyone seems to care about, and also the price of the car. This is one thing that infuriates my every time someone justifies buying T & H. I always ask how long do you expect to keep the car? The answer is always quite a long time, 5-8 years. If money is always an issue the buy P1 or P2 because it's cheaper, the future monetary loss will not be as large in the future even if the RV is terrible.

the service interval for Civic turbo is a joke, it's estimated to be 5 times a year, assuming 20k / year mileage.
while the NA version is just 2 times, pretty standard.
I am not aware Toyota has any car with turbo in this category and price range.
