Title: Reduced colour range for CW in Australia ??
Post by: Dazzler on July 13, 2011, 11:13:39: It appears from the Aussie Website that the CW colour palate has been reduced to just two colours??

Vivid Blue and Hyper Silver ? (still 7 or 8 choices for hatch....)

i noticed it was the sportswagon only because of the Sr rims and the tiny sportswagon badge on the bottom of the back door. :wink: it is a bit confusing to someone looking through that site for a new cw,it should say on there its a sportswagon. :confused: :disapp:

I don't believe they are either, Daz...... :undecided:

If you compare the dash, they are completely different, the front end is different and if you compare dimensions, the i40 is a larger car.....

i40 sedan dimensions
4740mm long, 1815mm wide, 1470mm tall and a 2770mm wheelbase.

Elantra sedan dimensions
4530mm long, 1775mm wide, 1435mm tall and a 2700mm wheelbase.

Post by: syecadelic on July 19, 2011, 21:44:12: Must be just clearing up the remainder of the stock, they are possibly getting ready for the bringing in of the new i40 tourer.

Launched ETA September over in UK.
could be a reason, because I know there is approx about £3,000 off a new diesel estate.
