Did Hyundai forget that they introduced, in full, the 2011 Elantra way back in April?

Looks like Hyundai is really coming on strong! A few key specs:
- 29/40MPG for both AT and MT models
- EPA classified as a midsize car - ?
- Better fuel economy than Ford Fiesta
- More interior space than a Nissan Maxima or Passat CC - ?
- 37% more rigid construction
- 2,661 lbs
- 10% weight reduction across the line
- New 1.8L engine is 74 lbs lighter
- 148hp, 131 lb-ft of torque
- Class leading power-to-weight ratio
- Push button start
- Base $14,830
Looks like the new yardstick has just been thrown. Too bad it's ungainly to look at

You honestly think that VW is on the quality levels of Hyundai???
LOL!
There's no comparison. I'd feel more confident in a Hyundai with a 100K on it over a new VW,
VW is consistently the most trouble prone major automaker in the industry.

Its well priced.
Drag coefficient is like 0.28. Good job Hyundai.
Competition
VW Jetta
Ford Fiesta/Focus
Plus if it has more space than a VW Passat CC thats even better. One thing when does it go on sale?

Japan and certain other markets usually gets it a year earlier.
