Bring the Hyundai I30N Hatch to the USA/CANADA/MEXICO
The "Hot Hatch" market in the Americas is very shallow with little offerings. Despit popular beliefs the America's does love hot hatches. Manufacturers have stopped offering like "the Ford Focus ST/RS" or "Fiesta ST" Mercedes never really gave the America's the A35/A45 AMG hot hatches (which were expensive but i think really dope) Subaru does not make WRX/STI Hot hatches anymore. The only real new offerings we have are infact the Golf GTI & GOLF R. While they look decent enough from the outside they are not popular here due to unjustified price increases and an absolutely atrocious interior & crappy user interface for the infotainment systems vs the outgoing Mk7 which people loved the look especially the design of the MK7.5 gti, the interior, and the minimalistic user interface for the software.
The only offerings for hot hatches that we got from the Hyundai Motors Group were the Veloster (N) and we did have the i30N for a short time as the Elantra GT.
Now it's no suprise why the Veloster (N) was dropped it was ugly. That and technically the Veloster/Elantra GT were for sale around the same time which didn't make much sense.
IMO the i30N hatch is the best looking N performance car that Hyundai makes. This should have replaced the Veloster instead of getting rid of both all together. This car is absolutely gate kept by HMG and given to plenty of other countries including native LHD countries.
Im starting this petition because im sure there would be plenty of justification to bring this car to the USA/CANADA/MEXICO markets. Even if it is a made to order and wait car first to gauge interest. Honestly i cant believe they tried to bring the Kona N but not the i30N that will actually sell as its every bit of what everyone is looking for. It's gorgeous, has all the performance we would want at an affordable price as it would likley be in line with the elantra N in pricing.
They can keep the new digital display for 2025 and give us the analog as long as we get everything else the looks the seats the sound the performance. Please Join me in signing this and passing it around we need flavor on this side of the world.

Why is this important?
This is important because the offerings in this segment are lacking. We need flavor IMO this is the best looking N performance car Hyundai offers yes even better looking than the EN and im betting there will be a ton of interest for this car in these markets. People need something Fun, affordable, practical, reliable, and good looking. The i30N hatch literally checks every single one of these boxes. We can include the GR COROLLA & CIVIC TYPE R i didn't mention previously and while the GR COROLLA base is around the same pricing as the EN currently the higher trim models are way too expensive and the CTR well we know that Honda marked it up close to 10k and dealers are trying to rob people with further markups and the car does not offer accommodations for every drivers desires i.e. NO DCT option further limitation on market reach.
WE NEED THE I30N HATCH it should be a crime for Hyundai to gate keep again IMO the best car in the N performance line up.
So again Join me in letting HMG know that we want this car!
