Well, lets he honest here...why the heck is anyone drving 80mph anyway? Last time I checked, its illegal! Also, very unsafe and irresponsible, im my opinion.

Replying to: bamacar (Nov 29, 2006 7:51 am) I'm in Chicagoland and while the posted highway limit is 55, traffic usually moves at either 70+ or 15-. Hitting 80 is not hard to do if one simply opts to go with the flow. |

Replying to: nodule (Nov 29, 2006 6:51 am) Illegal? Sorta. Usafe? Not really; it's just cruising along the freeway, at a speed comfortable for me and the car. Irresponsible? Completely subjective. |

This is not the "illegal/unsafe/irresponsible speeds" discussion, is it.  Anyone read any more reviews or reports on the Elantra you'd care to share? |

http://cars.about.com/od/hyundai/fr/ag_07elantra.htm In short, the reviewer says Elantra is an excellent car, except for the styling. To be honest, 2007 Elantra looked a little out of ordinary at my first glance(especially from either side), but the more I look at it, I find it rather surprising to realize myself that it does have an understated, unassuming look to it. Perhaps Hyundai feared that giving it a venturous styling could be more of a risk than a benefit?

Replying to: onlooker1 (Nov 29, 2006 5:31 pm) Keep in mind that the Sentra, praised by the cars.about.com review, was roundly bashed by C/D et. al. for its styling. And we all know how hard it is to sell cars that have boring styling. Look at the sedan sales leaders, what do you see? Cars with pedestrian styling like Accord, Corolla, Camry (more daring for 2007 but it sold great with more mundane styling), Impala, and Malibu. Hmm, maybe Hyundai saw a trend there?

I did some more googling and found this first drive article. http://www.autoweb.com/content/shared/articles/templates/index.cfm/article_id_in- t/2243 Again full of praises and few complaints. Loud engine noise under (hard) acceleration is mentioned, but that's about it. (Styling sure seems to be a subjective matter after all) |

Replying to: backy (Nov 24, 2006 2:27 pm) Having blue lighting is not a bad thing. I know you like inserting words here and there, but i didnt even insinutate that its a bad thing. Copying vw is lame imo. The civic has blue lighting, but it doens't copy vw.
