While the mechanicals are unchanged, the Hyundai Elantra GT gets a new, Sonata-inspired face and 17″ wheels.
Also added is a new infotainment system featuring HD radio, Siri integration and a new version of Hyundai’s Blue Link system that offers remote start and configurable climate controls that can be activated remotely.

Where are the 30 or so instantaneous f^#*king comments about the "Gillette" grille, huh? I mean, yesterday everyone seemed to be using talking points for the new Honda Pilot saying that it had nothing but Ford's Gillette Razor grille (which of course it does not). But now here is a MEGA copy of Ford's "Aston" grille and "Gillette" grille morphed into one, and nary a peep. As usual, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and Infiniti continue to be bashed incessantly for every design detail on this site, and Hyundai, Mazda, Kia, BMW, Merc, and select others get a complete pass on their... ahem... "styling". Typical...
I showed the picture to my wife, and she declined to have an opinion. That means it's boring and doomed.
Talking of parties imagine if Citroen had re-arrived with Cactus...
Kind of makes me wish that they brought back the Elantra Touring, though this "Golf"-like Elantra is cool. Not much more than the current model.
