So when is this late 2015 new Elantra gonna be launched?

It's like talk until cows come home still having launched yet... Hyundai what's happening to you??

So few launches these few years!!

Where's the new accent, i20, i30, Creta?

I agree with your points. Compare the Elantra turbo and a Civic turbo side by side. Take RV out of the equation and there is very little to recommend the Civic over the Elantra.

The Elantra turbo will cater to young adults who have yet to start their family. Buyers in this segment do not bother much about RV; actually most of them can't see beyond 3-4 years. They expect to drive the car for 5 years and what comes next is too far to think about.

Family men will still go for the Civic. It's a safe choice. Spacious, economical and good RV. Plus it's hard to convince their wives why they should buy a Korean car over a Jap car for the same price. They get slammed with RV, RV, RV until they surrender.

Yes, I think the Elantra turbo will sell reasonably well. There won't be any firesale price like the Veloster. That was a miscalculation by SD who misjudged the appeal of a 2 door coupe.

Got your car yet constant_weight? It seems the delivery is just started trickling in starting from late last week.

Grats to those that booked and received their cars! Don't bully us Civic cars coz we are down in HP & Torque
