Hopeful new owner with a question

Ared10 · **June 05, 2010, 12:54:53**

As stated above I am not an owner yet but have put in a request at my local dealer (western Maryland, USofA) for a Red Touring (i30).
My question is this; What does the CW stand for on the designation of the new i30 model? Here in the States the new Elantra wagon is called the Touring. Thanks in advance.

Cross Wagon pretty much the same thing as the elantra touring, which you will also see referred to here as the "ET".

In the UK we would often call them the "Estate" version.

welcome.

I'm fairly sure cw means compact wagon in Australia.

Thanks for the responses. It never ceases to amaze me how many different names that there are for what is actually the same thing.
I'll be jumping around here, I've found a lot of useful info and I'm already looking for aftermarket items to 'personalize' my new i30.

Another site that might be of interest is the www.hmaservice.com site, if you like tehcnical stuff. Hyundai USA are kind enough to allow you free access to servicing info, technical bulletins etc for the ET.

You'll need to register an account, but it's free

Yes, that is a good site. I've been registered there since I bought my Santa Fe in 03.

Welcome Adred10 nice to get another US member (got a few now..)

Not sure of the exact stats but thing of our 1400 odd members the largest number are from Australia with UK closing fast and the rest are scattered in about 50 other countries

Are you getting a red one? (red is not popular in Australia but seems to be in the USA)

Ared10 · **Reply #11: June 06, 2010, 03:25:20**

First, thanks all for the welcome. Yes, I am getting a Red SE, a color very popular with me. Most of the cars I've owned have been red.

You got me on that. I was trying to be so cryptic. Thanks again everyone for the welcome. OH, I am no longer a hopeful owner, I picked up my Red 10 i30CW last night. Even though I should be out mowing my lawn I'm trying to think of somewhere I need to drive to.

If not, then get a wife
