Maybe. But both Mazda and Corolla have both sedan and hatch.
And I know the i30 and Elantra are a bit different but I doubt any more so than the other two.

The i30 & Elantra don't even share the same dash, unlike the others...so basically they share an engine and floor pan. :undecided:

I had a look here. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=mazda+3+dashboard (http://www.google.com.au/search?q=mazda+3+dashboard+pics&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ALnTUaDIB8KyiAf1xoHIDQ&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=908)
I accept some are probably different models, but gee, some of them even have the steering wheel on the other side. :wink:

Post by: rustynutz on July 03, 2013, 12:15:46: Are you serious? :rofl:

You have pics of probably every Mazda 3 dash ever made, not just the latest model hatch & sedan that is available in Australia which is what we are talking about... :rolleyes:

How about digging up some photos of an Australian model 2013 Mazda 3 hatch dash and an equivalent model sedan's dash?

Title: Re: Hyundai is top-selling car in June
Post by: rustynutz on July 03, 2013, 12:34:11: Just pointing out that the 2 models are just that...2 separate models that, I believe, should never have been combined, Daz.... :whistler:

Post by: Dazzler on July 03, 2013, 12:38:43: Aren't they selling the new corolla hatch alongside the previous series sedan? They are way different :lol:

Post by: rustynutz on July 03, 2013, 12:44:22: They are both still Corollas though....

Post by: ouri30 on July 03, 2013, 12:57:49: It's really just a badge. Elantra / i30, both very similar really. Ones a sedan, other a hatch. In US aren't they both Elantra.

Next think we will be discounting the splits between other models from other manufacturers where major interior differences make sitting in them feel like they are different cars. It's really splitting hairs as I see it.

Post by: rustynutz on July 03, 2013, 13:03:26: Perhaps we should add Kia sales to Hyundai's then...... :undecided:

Now there is a brilliant idea. After all, Holden include all the imported models that are rebadged brands from other manufacturers.

Post by: Carlyboy on July 23, 2013, 12:06:01: you say that one's designed in Germany and the other in USA. I suspect the I30 in Germany and the Elantra in USA.. Am i correct?
