" The last tank of gas (highway driving, 70 mph) was 39.6 mpg. I am very pleased. "
Sounds like you're getting an overall average close to 35 m.p.g.. Not shabby , right up there with a YARIS .

How many models in this class offer a turbo?

I believe it's zero.

True. But with the Cruze, it's the engine in all models except the base. The turbo is actually a 1.4 liter, while the cheaper base model is a 1.8 liter. Interesting that the cheap model gets more displacement than the higher models with a turbo. And in the end they are only 2 horses apart...136 & 138.

As for the Juke, its turbo engine is its only power plant option, which makes it a non-option. It also starts $4K higher than Elantra's starting price and doesn't compete directly.

Plus, the Elantra has 148 hp compared to the 136/138 available in the Cruze.

Here it is, ladies and gents – the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe. The svelte new two-door will make its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show in just a few weeks, but our intrepid spy photographers managed to catch this completely uncovered prototype on the back of a flatbed truck.

Not surprisingly, the new coupe relies heavily on the same Fluidic Sculpture design language of the award-winning sedan, though subtle tweaks have been made to give the two-door a bit more sporting flare. The foglight housings appear larger and more angular, giving the front end a slightly more aggressive appearance. Out back, a small lip spoiler has been added to the rear deck that both enhances the swoopy profile shape of the Elantra and adds another element of style to the rear end.

As we reported earlier, the Elantra Coupe will get a sport-minded SE trim level, and all in, Hyundai hopes that the coupe will account for 20 percent of all Elantra sales. We'll have the full details in just a few weeks, but scroll through our gallery of spy shots to see naked coupe from all angles.

Is that one damaged halfway between the gas door and the door? Or is is photoshopped or something?
