Title: Model Release Dates - Australia
Post by: Doggie 1 on April 20, 2012, 09:47:51

There are some interesting dates/facts in this (if correct).
I note that the engine choices for the new i30 differ from what we've heard previously.

The diesel engines come as no surprise...
I couldn't see Hyundai Australia being that stupid to not have them after the accolades the engine received in the original i30.  :)

I agree. It was the small capacity petrol engines that caught my eye given that we've currently got a 1.6 & a 2.0 litre.
Referring back to "that" email, according to Hyundai, we're getting a 1.8 litre petrol engine in the i30.
Time will tell.

You and me both.  :happydance:
Whenever I look at the photo of the (new shape) red i30, I love it.
Then I look at a photo of the i40 sedan and I love it.
Then I look at my (old shape) i30 and I love it.
I am so  :confused:
