Touring now or wait for GT
I am looking at buying a 2012 Elantra Touring but have been doing some reading on the upcoming GT (new i30).
I really like the large amount of space in the ET and it is the main thing holding me back from waiting for the GT. But if the GT will be available soon I would like to do a side by side comparison. Does anyone know when the GT is expected to arrive in Canada?
