For this article, we compare the fifth-gen Hyundai Elantra, the Honda Civic FB, and

An unnamed source further confirmed our suspicion. Could this mean that the all-new seventh-generation Elantra is coming into Malaysia very soon? The outgoing sixth-generation Elantra was launched in Korea in 2015 befor
