Well the i30cw was the only car in the i series to be released in North America, so I could see it being done.  Though they might just re-brand the i40 tourer as an Elantra Touring.

True,  just cant see how they would justify the two estates if prices so similarly, cuz the i40 tourer is well priced as it is.

I know ford and vauxhall do it here in Europe, Focus Mondeo, Astra, Insignia, but there is a fair difference between them.. wait and see I guess

Drive away price of base model i40 is almost A$10,000 more than Base model i30CW over here...

Well over UK base price on i40 is about £17,400 and i30 hatch is £13,780. estate usually a bit more obviously. And the new i30 is going to be a big more expensive than the current model I think, so if we say a sake of about £3 grand difference maybe?
hmm..not sure

The cheapest new CW I could find on Carsales.com was A$22,090 compared with the Cheapest i40 at A$32,490

i30/i40 base models dazz?

Yep, base models .. CW SX Manual (on special $2500 off) and i40 active manual ...

The CW is going t be greatly discounted tho i reckon with the new 2012 i30 coming out, even if its only the hatch for now, its obvious a new CW will be out then.
