The vehicle somehow reminds of Ford Focus

In terms of exterior, the Elantra Sport looks just fine. Just fine. There is nothing interesting with that one, if we have to be honest. There are only two distinctive elements: the massive and badass-looking grille and the standard wheel design. And it is indeed the grille that reminds me of a Ford vehicle. The rest is just a straightforward design without any interesting curves and lines. I don’t say it is an ugly vehicle, not at all. We just expected something more. Or, maybe, it was our expectations that let us down.
