It's still going to be a very crowded segment, with Ford and Chevy's new small cars are going to actually not suck, Lexus even has a compact coming out. It's going to take a lot to stand out in the crowd, I hope the Elantra can do it, because the HD was way too bland.

as far as imagining what it might look like while covered up like that... it kind of gives me a prius vibe... when i see it. at least from the way to back seems to slope.

A fully loaded Si is 29,774 on Honda build and price. I think whatever Hyundai puts in the Elantra (gold even, real gold) it will come in much less than that.
You are right, didn't even notice that, good catch. Yeah, usually they have other Hyundai wheels on them.
Did nobody else see the picture (or my post) about it being a six speed manual transmission (or at least a 6 speed shift knob)? I thought all you guys would be jumping up and down over that.
hyundai is out to conquer the world!! i wonder why they would do this if the Elantra is their bestseller right now. i also wonder what this will outphase the touring, or if they want to keep the wagon.
i'm not sure i like how far front the winshield pillars are. definitely don't like that all door lines in all cars are going up. i also can say i loathe those distracting gauge "cups" they keep putting in. why can't gauges just be gauges? these are also harder to clean.
sorry to say but hyundai kinda lost me with the HD.. imo its a whole different ballgame from the xd and xd2.. it lost its agility, fun-play/ sports car with a nice comfy touch
Yep, that dash/wheel/instruments must be the new Huyndai corporate design. Very similar to the Genesis Coupe, the new Sonata. Even the new LM Tucson has a simular wheel and instrument cluster.
yeah.... likely at the wheels. Considering that Dodge is getting 300hp out of their 2.4L turbo car that they warranty, I would think tuning, intake and exhaust 180 at the front wheels would be fairly reasonable expectation.
No matter what it looks like Hyundai needs to put a decent 5 speed and clutch in the Elantra or not offer a manual at all. The HD blows. That is the sole reason I HATE my car. Worst 5 speed I have ever driven.
Edit: just saw the 6-speed gear shifter. WTF...you wait til 2011 Hyundai? It better not suck like the current 5 speed.

You guys need to just upgrade to a act stage 2 clutch and XTD flywheel with a TWM short shifter, and change the manual transmission fluid with Redline MT90 fluid, it will completely transform the way your 5speed transmission feels.
More pics from Leftlane News. They say that they think it could get the 2.4l direct injection engine and agree that the 4 speed auto and 5 speed manual should be gone for good.
If this thing really comes in 2011 that means the HD will be the first North American Hyundai not to receive a real facelift in a long long time (at least 10 years). I'm sure they'll do something for 2010, but surely it won't be very drastic.

Although camouflage covers much of the car’s details, the 2011 Elantra is expected to take styling cues from the yet-to-be-revealed Hyudai Sanata. Look for the all-new Elantra to sports a thoroughly modern design language without being overly polarizing.
i want that steering wheel! its nicer than the GC's, its soo sexy, the new elantra is going to be sooo sexy..
