I would bet that the "Limited" would probably be the equivalent of the GT,
at least in accoutrements. It would be nice if it also had the improved
handling and the quicker ratio steering that the EGT has compared with the
other Elantras.

Good choice. Great bang for buck and still with the good quality and fun
factor. Also, the Tob is easier to customize than the Elantra since the
aftermarket supports it more.

I bet that they always keep the price point below cars like the Mazda 3 and
Honda Civic. They are offering a better warranty already so the best way to
keep the loyal customers and to attract new ones is to put out a good
looking car that is still a better value. What they might lose in
enthusiasts they will gain in the mainstream.
