VE 5-door 05 model

[Rory]

Hyundai Canada hasn't added the 05 Elantra's to their website yet. They also don't have brochures. And salepeople have given me different answers. Can anyone confirm the following? Anyone know where I can actually get a hard copy of the specs for the 05 models? Specifically, the VE.

1) That the VE model has the sport cloth seating (like the GT) as standard. Getting mixed answers on this.
2) What rims come with the standard VE? I'm getting mixed answers on this. I'm wondering if the VE actually has nicer rims than the 04 that some dealers are quietly downgrading to base model rims to save increase their margins. Or, if the VE comes with the same at the base model but they just upgrade the rims in the showroom.
3) The model # for the Clarion stereo so I can get the specs straight from Clarion for a mod I'd like to do. I need to confirm if there's a line-in at the back that I can expose.

Thanks,
Rory

Thanks. That thread doesn't actually list all the main specs. I was looking for something a bit more complete and official that might allow me to compare the VE 4-door and VE 5-door, which are slightly different in specs. Guess they're not floating around anywhere yet.

Thanks, though.

sport suspension?
4 wheel disk brakes?

are you sure the guy wasn't read the GT's specs to you when you bought your VE ?

Well the thing is ours is not badged. On the rear of ours we do not have a VE or GT below where it says Elantra. I was told that on the assembly line there was an error with a few of the VE and GT models when they were being manufatured.
Mine has the exterior of the GT modle and the interior of the VE

Exterior:
Color Samba Red (only comes with GT model)
black door trim
4 wheel disk
Sport suspension

Interior:
No leather wrap steering wheel/shift knob
No trip computer
No purple guages :(
