SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSIONSElantra comes equipped with a standard six-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC® manual control. The Elantra’s six-speed manual transmission optimizes engine performance while providing a crisp shift action. These positive shifts are courtesy of triple-cone synchronizers for first and second gears, double-cone for third gear, and single-cone for fourth, fifth, and sixth gears.

I'm guessing they won't be advertising the engine name too much in QC - "Nu" means "naked" in French

I like the changes and all but some companies seem to be really good with ingredient descriptions that don't necessarily equate in the end.Hyundai failed on the fuel economy specs and the GT still has some ride qualities to be ironed out. They were both hyped heavily at one point.
