Hyundai Elantra Touring: European Penned i30 Coming To The US In 2008

Hyundai’s US arm announced today that that it will add a second version to its Elantra line-up in 2008, the “Elantra Touring” 5door hatch model. Even though Hyundai avoids saying it in the press release, the Elantra Touring is actually based on the European designed i30 C-Segment model.

The Elantra Touring will go on sale in the States in spring of 2008 as a 2009 model and it will be offered with the same 138Hp strong 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine as the Elantra Sedan

Maybe Apple, BMW and Infiniti will be kind to Hyundai and not sue, since all three companies seem to have a stake in the letter "I," in both upper- and lower-case. lol.

Nisfiniti should sue... "i" capitalization regardless. I mean, they sued Audi over the use of "Q7" because they thought it sounded similar to "QX56" (lol), so this should be a no-brainer for them.
