Just found this, and it confirms the talk of a 3 door version and also what I had heard somewhere about a 1.6 turbo mk3 i30 coming in the future

(would Mk3 be an okay thing to call it ? )

I still think Hyundai should go WTCC or BTCC racing, or even a one make / model series like the Clio Cup. Especially if they want the new drivers generation to buy the "hot" versions. Nothing sells a Brand better than competition success. C'mon Hy... get in!  :goodjob:

If I am correct in saying they rally the current version in Australia?
Hyundai used to do WRC back in the accent days, who knows, but I reckon in 5 years or so Hyundai will have their finger back in the motorsport world again.

Hy Folks.

The first view of the 3doored i30 looks nice. but what is going on with the grill?

Have you seen such an ugly piece anywhere before?  :Shocked:

The plan of a 1.6l Engine is interesting but with a small block about 200hp sounds unthinkable.
More power needs more than 1.6 litres of hub.
Who thinks so too? Please feel free to make your standing.


Greetings from Germany.

The only picture I can see in that link is the new 5 door with the standard new grill??

It wasn't a problem and easy to miss (a busy thread)

Yes, this is just someone's photoshopped idea of what a 2 door i30 should like......
The address plastered across the side windows is the giveaway..... :winker:

I don't know why Hyundai spends so many millions at the design studio in Germany. All they need to do is wait for some amateur to throw together  CW  and 2 door photoshop mock ups on the internet and they are set to go  :wacko: :rofl:
