They have to compete in US market which is not the same as here. I believe the New Elantra 2008 is a big change over from the previous version. It up to the people here to accept and test it out.

Resale value for this new Elantra is cannot be confirmed yet as this is a big change over from the previous version. But nonetheless, I think it'll still not be as good as T or H or N brand, the value will depends on how much people appreciate it and demand.

Anyway, the specs and features for that price is really making those T, H and N looks bad. If people starts to favour and question, probably those T, H and N would consider lowering their prices and introduce better specs (or simply don't simply strip off the original specs). Competition is GOOD! Cmon' start questioning and pressure those SA, make T, H and N feels it. I would love to see all these cars having good competitive specs, features and also pricing.

Just my 2 "WON".
