This one is a fake, but may be fairly good estimation of what we will see later.

There are also some spy shots from Korea, still inside canvas masks, but at least you can see the tail lights are pretty similar compared to the Hatch.

I see it's also likely to be even lower than the current model so I reckon that will count me out.
I can cope with my FD at the moment but if cars keep getting lower I think my next car will more than likely be a SUV. :Pout:

So we're keeping the current model for another year. This new model looks like a Passat wagon!

Bowled into the local dealer for a price to be met with...oh, we don't sell the CW version any more - no demand! Well, how about a diesel manual.......not much demand for diesels and I don't think there's a diesel manual saloon in the State.........FFS.
They did that even when the Tourer WAS supposedly available...I'd stop off at different dealers to check out the Tourer and none of them ever had one in stock.
They'd say that they weren't very popular...Me thinks they aren't/weren't very popular because you couldn't actually get to look at one, let alone test drive one! :fum: :head_knock:
I dunno about anyone else but there's no way I'd be buying a new vehicle without at least being able to check one out beforehand.

Be nice if they increased the wheelbase and the roof line like they did on the FD...fat chance of that happening though. :(

From indianautosblog.com: The new generation i30 hatchback is 40 mm longer, 15 mm wider and 20 mm lower that is predecessor, and similar dimensional changes is a given for the estate version. The wheelbase should remain unchanged.
Post by: rustynutz on October 12, 2016, 15:23:51
I had read that, hence my comment about "fat chance of that happening" and my comment about being even lower than the current model... :D
When I test drove the GD I had a bit of trouble getting in due to the low rake of the roofline so if it's gonna be even lower in the new model ,I reckon that will just about count me out... :(
I was actually just saying to my partner the other day, if I was in the market for another car, I actually think I'd consider a low mileage FD CW.... :undecided:

The sloping rear window has a lot to do with aerodynamics. Big square rear end creates drag.

Had a bit of a chuckle at the 2nd picture, the look on the drivers face lol.

That is one of the main reasons why aerodynamics is very important nowadays, so the boxy 1980s styling will not come back.

Don't forget the column gear shift.
Q. What's the gear lever for?
A. to hang all your gear on! :twisted:

I do recall fondly driving my first car, an HQ wagon, with left leg propped up across the bench seat*, right foot on accelerator, right elbow over window sill, left hand hanging off the bottom of the wheel, Jimmy Barnes screaming out of my self-installed Brian's Auto Speed Shop Rough Country AM/FM stereo cassette deck. :D
*Traumatic slushbox, of course.

Does this mean that Hyundai Australia's on again, off again affair with the wagon is back on?It was/ is always going to depend on the relative exchange rates when/if Hyundai has excess stock of the wagon for our market. On past experience this could very well be 12 months away. Who knows what the exchange rates will look like by then with Doggies mate (Trump) and Italy's economy teetering on the brink of collapse. That is assuming they again build the wagon exclusively in Europe.
Discuss.....
The way the world is at the moment, by then Pauline Hansen could be the Prime Minister and North Korea could have nuked South Korea. Probably lucky my name isn't Nostradames..

It will have everything to do with the Euro zone and the forthcoming elections in France, Holland and Germany which will have an influence on the Euro (currency) and the EU as a whole.
Especially if Le Pen wins France and Wilders wins Holland.
Plus the Greek economy will play a part too on the value of the Euro.
But one thing is certain. Trump will still get the blame for it. :rolleyes:

Thanks Beerman (nicer than the hatch I think) :goodjob:
:whsaid:
Compared to the PD Hatch, there's a small but important difference in the tail lights, making the whole rear more apart from VW Golf. :goodjob2: :goodjob:
Edit: Actually, from that viewing angle it's pretty similar to the GD Wagon!
Edit2: Oops, one look from the straight rear - those lights aren't much different after all. Just like in GD, you change the viewing angle a bit and it looks totally different! :crazy2:

For me, it has an appealing look. Unfortunately, when its on the road it probably wont stand out from all the look alike makes, which will be a pity. I thought that the GD styling managed to break the mould.
