Why China Sold Four Different Generations Of Hyundai Elantra In 2016 - The Autopianwww.theautopian.comgorilla tag
Have you ever woken up one morning and wished you could buy four generations of brand new Hyundai Elantra? If so, do we ever have news for you.
Used to work at a body shop 10 years ago, those XD Elantras were common for rusting the rear quarters out where the bumper meets……and boy were they a rattle trap.
It amazes me how much better the build quality got as the years progressed. 15 years ago my father had a first-gen Kia Sportage. Great little truck, the Northeast winters (salt) ate the frame……and it decided to break when I hit a pothole.
Swore Kia/Hyundai off after that, now here I am drooling over the Palisade/Telluride twins….still wayyyyy out of my price range (as are most new cars)
