(Pic of of Korean-spec model but U.S. model should look VERY similar).

Hyundai is hosting a briefing at their HACHI technical center in Michigan, and Autoguide is on hand for the various presentations today. The first one focused on the upcoming Elantra, and CEO John Krafcik revealed some important details.

Among them was a claim that the Elantra will get 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, and that all models will achieve this figure, not just a special “ECO” model like the Chevrolet Cruze. The Elantra’s new generation 1.8L four will produce 82.4 horsepower per liter and pump out 148 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque.
 
Front end looks not bad, only if they add a Turbo on it like the Sonata and it will be a very fun compact car to drive.
 
I think you may have mis-read what he wrote. He said the elantra would be a fun compact if they choose to add a turbo option as they recently have on the sonata.

Either way both the Elantra and Sonata are no where close to being compact cars. Accents are Hyundai's compacts, Elantras and Sonatas are much larger.

l'elantra est une compacte, l'accent est une sous-compacte.

elantra = civic, corolla, sentra
accent= fit, yaris, versa
 
who cares which one is a compact and which one is a sous-compact

the Elantra is looking really good
 
Serais pas pire si Hyundai décide d'Integrer cette option en amerique du nord
