It wrongly states that the engine used is the World Engine (aka Theta) when it's the Beta II.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

You know, im not ganna lie. I think that interior is ugly, and I think the outside is just as ugly. Im not buying this as my next car, thats for sure, even when the reviews come out stateside.

[SuperGLS]

What part of the interior do you think is ugly? I think you are the first person to say that.

[OPZ]

Its to bland. I don't like how everything seems to "point" towards the driver, and from the angle of that pic it looks like it clusteres everything in the center. I mean, just look at how HUGE the passenger side of the dash looks like its a freaking cliff.

Its just...ew. To me at least.

Yeah I think it is ugly too, just looks a little to "girlish" for me, I dont really know how to explain it that well but the body is way to curvy and to tall, the interior is ok but nothing more then "ok".

I do like the color of the interior lights if that makes a differance, but other then that its not a car I would buy.

[obi_one]

yeah the interior looks kind of empty

[WytchDctr]

the XD is the definition of bland interior styling.... but I like the XD body alot more than the HD.

[OPZ]

Ok, heres a pic of the XD dash vs. the HD dash from relativly the same angle. Am I SERIOUSLY the only that thinks that the HD dash looks so freaking cliff/blank like, compared to how nice the XD dash looks?!

[extremeaudiowa]

Personally i dont like the outside of the HD that much but i like the inside...

I think my 2006 looks nicer than the 2007 and it was also cheaper than what the 2007 costs now.

this is taken from the link..

Hyundai has fitted all North American Elantras with its 2.0L four-cylinder Beta II engine. This power plant spools out 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque, which is pretty much standard for vehicles in the class.

It's been edited apparently. That was over 20 days ago. I'm sure someone that cared more than me sent them a note about it.
