Alright this is a thread to get straight what came up in this thread http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2446
I just want to get it straight so I don't go around saying wrong stuff and misinforming people! The XD is 2001-2003 Elantras, right? The XD2 refers to 2004+ Elantras right? Now what patform is the 2005 Kia Spectra based on because I read this in a few places, but the one that came to mind right away was here http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/pw/05spectra.htm
The new Spectra should help. Developed at a cost of US$250 million, built in Korea and sold in Canada as the Spectra sedan and Spectra5 wagon (they’re called the Cerato in overseas markets), the car features unique styling, and a longer wheelbase and is wider and taller than the model it replaces.
Built on a new platform that will be used on future Elantras, the 2005 Spectra is powered by a 2.0-litre, DOHC 4 cylinder motor making 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque. The previous Spectra had a 1.8-litre engine rated at 124 horsepower and 119 lb.-ft. of torque.
I just want to be clear so I know, I don't want to be spreading incorrect info :)
