The i30 is arguably the best looking hatch available today

They don't get DRL's either nor a diesel option.

Why no diesel for certain markets and why a diesel option for Australia, which doesn't have a history of high % of diesel private ownership, unlike Europe

They do get DRL's according to the review  :whistler:

You are right about the diesel though (not sure why either)  :confused:

It took Australia a long time to start getting small passenger car diesels.
Wasn't it somthing to do with the quality of the diesel here?
I wonder if it's a similar issue there.

Wouldn't that also apply to trucks though  :question:

And the USA, they could sell the odd one there too.  :exclaim:
