2007 Hyundai Elantra.

In spite of its striking resemblance to Toyota Corolla, new Elantra is 100% legal in the US and EU markets. How is that? Because Elantra is totally different underneath the skin, being a midsizer next to compact Corolla.

Styling Resemblance <- Acceptable.
Mechanical Resemblance <- Subject to lawsuit.

And Chinese too should see this car before the end of next year, since Elantra is a best seller in China.
