Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Looks pretty good. Just needs to be a hatchback!

It looks sooo civic-ish to me, but with better lines and curves. I don't think i like the short and steep sloped hood. No opinion yet.

I think it's great to release a coupe with all the attention the sedan is getting.

That's pure win for me. If I were in the market for a car, that would be on the short list.

It's a Tiburon maybe a Scion Tc, Accord Coupe and Civic minus the sporty looks, minus the hatch? minus the insurance costs.

IMO, Hyundai just copies other car designs.....examples



My wife's 07 Accent hatchback looks like the civic hatchbacks from a few years ago



the last version of the Sonata looks like the Honda Accords from a few years ago



Hyundai Elantra (last version) = Toyota Corolla



The Genesis sedan looks like a BMW 5 series



I could go on and on. I'm not bashing Hyundai, I own one and love it. I just think it's funny that they have found success copying other car models.
