There's rumors of a new Elantra hatchback or even wagon coming soon. What do you think? Which would you prefer? What's the latest scoop?

Been off the forum for a while. Any hatch news for 07? Is there even a redesigned one overseas? If not, is the Spectra 5 the closest thing to one? Possibly in 08?

Let's see, Hyundai doesn't put A/C into the base Elantra (in the U.S.). How much you want to bet that the glass roof makes it into production? Also I wouldn't want to pay for the damage for either a front or rear low-speed collision.
 
I wonder how long it will take some folks to say, "It looks just like [fill in favorite Japanese car]!"

A hatchback?I was under the impression that the hatchback was discontinued.

Just for 07. Just as the 01 was introduced without a hatch counterpart.

Actually 2002 was the first year they had an Elantra hatchback.

That's what doohickie posted. 2001 the Elantra was introduced, and the hatch followed one model year later. I'd think the next gen hatch would follow similar timeline.

The Elantra was introduced in, I think, 1993.
