Talk:Hyundai Elantra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dealer just told us that for 2007, the Elantra hatchback is no longer availible. What a shame. We are buying a 2006 Elantra.
[edit] Discussion of Merge
It makes sense to me. The Avante article adds no information that couldn't just be a paragraph at the end of the Elantra article. IFCAR 22:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
In the Philippines, the Elantra sedan and wagon is marketed as "1999 Hyundai Elantra 1.6 GLS" as the rear emblem goes on 4 door Sedan and the Wagon with the following standard specs
114 HP 16V ECFI DOHC engine FWD (Front Wheel Drive) 5 speed Manual/4 speed Automatic Transmission 4 wheel ABS braking system MacPherson on front and rear suspension Rear Defogger Optional Foglights Power Steering Power Windows and Side Mirrors Aircon with Heater switch FM/AM Stereo 4 speaker system with Automatic antenna
[edit] Elantra Touring
An Elantra Touring is an i30. In a photo, there is no difference. Therefore, there is no reason to use a bad photo of the Elantra Touring when a good photo of the i30 tells readers what the Elantra Touring looks like better. The only point of the photo is to convey information, and the i30 photo available conveys the information much better than Elanta Touring photo. What name the car has is irrelevant in illustrating what that car looks like. Look at many other articles for examples. Mazda Familia uses pictures of Proteges. Mitsubishi Lancer includes Mirages. Daewoo Lacetti has a half-dozen images of cars that are identical to but not called "Daewoo Lacetti." And so on. Unless you can come up with a consensus on this talk page of why convention should be broken so that a lower-quality image can be used, do not revert.IFCAR (talk) 11:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well first off I think the lead in to the 4th gen section should feature the most prominent worldwide example of the Hyundai Elantra (which is the sedan). Not a picture of the limited market hatchback i30 which is lifted I might add from the Hyundai i30 article. It is a different car for the 2008 model year. The i30 picture despite not seeing the i30 badge does convey INCORRECT information about he Hyundai Elantra. A picture of the sedan is preferable, even if of lower quality. As for other examples of incorrect information you use above, just because they're also wrong doesn't make it right. They should also be changed to reflect reality.

- You're proposing a large-scale change. I suggest you deal with it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles before trying to implement it yourself. If you decide not to and continue with reverting based on hopelessly ridiculous logic (a picture isn't "wrong"; it is what it is, and the i30/Elantra Touring is more global than the sedan whose image you admit is worse), I'll be delighted to post a mention there myself.

- Nevermind, looks like our dispute was ended for us. Gateman1997 (talk) 23:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hyundai i30 merge
The i30 is one name for a car also sold as the Elantra wagon or Elantra Touring. It doesn't need a separate article. IFCAR (talk) 21:36, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- No way. The i30 hatchback is sold in Europe, whereas here in North America, we are getting the i30 wagon as the Elantra Touring. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 22:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
