    Saw this car on this week's Fifth Gear. Not bad looking at all, and significantly cheaper than the Focus TDCI. If Hyundai bring this in I think they have themselves quite a competitor.

    2.0li CRDI
    138hp, 304Nm

    Looks good. Looks like a small veracruz up front, then the rear reminds me of the innova

    Interesting... if they price it right, they'll have a seller here.

    Personally I think its mechanical sibling, the Kia Cee'd, looks a little better (odd name aside). But the i30 is a looker also.

    In Europe/UK, Kia's Cee'd and ProCee'd hatches are pitched as the somewhat sportier versions, while the i30s are marketed as a pseudo-luxury variant.

    I like the looks better than the focus but I wonder if it handles as well? Personally though, I'm not so into hatches -- sedans and cuvs are more my thing.

    I perfer the i30's looks over the Cee'd... I don't like the inward crease at the bottom of the door on that car. It looks like you've curbed it, even before you actually do!

    Hmmm, oo nga 'no. Must be due to how the hatch's sheet metal is surfaced...the middle section is concave (inward bending).

    Panalo! reminds me of a BMW 1-series.

    I saw a Rio Hatch Friday morning, though... so they finally brought that in?

    the rear does remind of 1 series but the overall design is really sleek and clean!

    Sa mga nabasa ko eh madumi daw mga diesel sa pinas dahil mahal yung process pag lilinisin. Malulugi mga Public Utility Vehicles.

    Sa mga experts dito. Ok ba mga Gas engine ng Hyundai/KIA? At par sa Honda and Toyota?

    expect to see more great things from hyundai.

    The "I" in the I30 is one of the firsts cars from hyundai to officially sold in the global market in the "I" badging. Hyundai is in the transition phase of consolidating its "chopseuy" line up and names to one definitive name calling..just like what BMW is using..like the 1 series,3 series, and the like.

    Its a strategic move to further make the brand equitable across the world. Think of the Toyota corolla, Its almost caleed the corolla in every [art of the world.

    imo, the Ford focus hatch still looks better (my fav car ). this looks good too. but it's something with the overall shape that I find it not there yet...

    i30 is a bit too German. The lines are a bit too distinct. Not that i am complaining. hehe

    Focus is nice too but not the one we have here but the European model. It's more properly designed with fluid lines.
