Replying to: doohickie (Jan 29, 2008 5:52 am) We got the wagon, not the hatch version. Oh well. It does have quite a sleek but anonymous look from the side. If the Volkwagen GTI got 4 doors and stretched out, it might look like this. It is most interesting from the front with the Honda like grill, wrap around headlights, and low air intake. Wheels are a little more up-to-date than the Elantra sedan.   But I kind of hoped it would look more like the Saturn Astra hatch (another European design), but if you look at the Astra wagon, it is A LOT less sporty than the hatch version, too. What is it about wagons? The sportiest looking wagon is still the Mazda3 imho. New Vibe exterior is all right, but the new Matrix looks overdone.   I was also hoping Hyundai would try to imitate the Vibe's completely flat folding rear seats and passenger side seat. That's the coolest, most well thought out part about that car. But it looks like your conventional fold down design.   Do the Canadians get pimpin' turn signals on the sideview mirrors and we don't? That's a fun little option to offer...though I agree with another poster that Hyundai shouldn't abandon the bargain seekers...a decently equipped under-16K wagon would do well.   BTW the i30 hatch got a nice write up in the UK.   Chroncles of a Hyundai Owner
#53 of 269 When will it be available? by mondocane Feb 16, 2008 (6:45 pm)
Anyone know when the Elantra Touring will start showing up Hyundai dealers? Replies to this message: backy (Feb 16, 2008 8:02 pm) hstepien (Feb 17, 2008 9:01 am)

Replying to: mondocane (Feb 16, 2008 6:45 pm) Hyundai officials have been quoted as saying "by the end of this year" (e.g. at Chicago Auto Show) and "spring of 2008", which would be by late June (stated when the Touring was announced last August). So looks like it will be sometime this year, but just when is unclear. I hope it will be by October at the latest, as I need to get a new car by about that time.

#58 of 269 I'm really looking forward to this car by kentavos22 Mar 07, 2008 (12:39 pm)
I have an 2002 Elantra GT that I love. I'm considering trading it in to get a new Touring when they come out. Depends on how it looks in person and the price.
#59 of 269 Touring release date by backy Mar 08, 2008 (3:49 pm)
While at my local auto show today I saw the 2009 Elantra Touring. It was on a platform so I couldn't sit in it, but I got a look inside. It was medium blue with black interior. It looked as good as if not better in person than in photos. Looks much like the Elantra SE inside, as we know from earlier photos.   I found out that, unfortunately, the rear seat doesn't fold flat as on the 2001-6 Elantra hatch. I asked a factory rep, and he looked at the seat bottom and said it didn't flip up. So there's no way for the rear seatbacks to lie flat--they're at an angle.   I also asked the rep when the car would be at dealers, and he said "fall or winter". When I expressed my disappointment at that, he shook his head and said, "Yep, that's when it will be here." Fortunately I really don't need to buy a car until later this year, but I was hoping it would be out sooner so the Feds and IIHS would have time to do their crash tests before I have to make a decision.
