Title: PD Fastback
Post by: tohis on May 09, 2017, 13:10:16

Some spy shots and a fake rendering of the PD Fastback seem to have been out there for some time...

Thanks, some might find it more appealing style wise than the standard hatch, but I hope they make the wagon a priority. I think the wagon is needed before some "fastback"  :undecided:

Whats the difference between the 'fastback' and the Elantra?

I like that body shape..  :goodjob2:

One huge advantage compared to the hatch or tourer, is that the tailgate window doesn't get so dirty with this coupe-like shape.
I would also think the boot floor is same size as the tourer.

Looks good! Deemed unfit for practicality, but if we need a second car, I can get one for myself and the missus can drive the tourer(probably have to trade it for an auto gdi for her though). :)

What you drove wasn't the fastback Rick...  :eek: (not released yet) They do already have a diesel in the new  PD (pretty much the same engine as the old one)

Interesting about the styling comment. I actually really like the new PD styling now myself, but I thought the GD was a handsome car as well.  :undecided:
