Hi Sheepman ..

I would say it is very likely but no official announcement yet (that I have seen).

One link that was very recently posted (about the new i30) said there will be a 2 door version and another link hinted at a turbo charged version being made. My best guess is they will marry these two features into a hot hatch 

It is a bit less likely that we will get such a version over here. Due to our smaller market and the need to get ADR (Australian Design Rules) certification we do miss out on some of these variants at times
