I don't understand why Hyundai... after all this time, hasn't come out with a performance version of the Elantra.

VW GTI, Subaru WRX, Civic Si (Type R coming), Focus RS... etc.

Is it lack of engineering know how? Or, (unlike other brands who realize there are enthusiasts looking for something a little different) are they clueless?

Every generation I hold out hope that Hyundai will release an Elantra performance variant and every time... disappointment.

Yet, Kia offers the Forte Koup and Forte 5 with a 201hp/195 ft/lb. of torque turbo engine. WTF?

Am I they only one tired of seeing Elantras doing 0-60 in just under 10 seconds?

Dated dash styling, toned down exterior, average to weak powertrains... THE 2017 ELANTRA!
