The New Generation i30, along with the majority of the original i30, is produced at Hyundai’s award-winning manufacturing facility in Nošovice, Czech Republic, which opened in 2008. To date, the factory has produced more than half a million units of i30, which are exported to 60 destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australasia, the Caribbean and the USA (under the Elantra GT nameplate).

I think we only get the Korean ones, or at least have done up until recently, though I may stand corrected.
The new cw will be coming from the European plant but it isn't here yet.
And we are to shortly receive a special batch of ix35 which is coming from this plant and will be Euro-spec, with full leather and seat warmers and priced $1000 above the Active model.
This was to boost supplies to meet demand, apparently.
