EV ftw!!!
Somebody please help me understand this about cars in general that originate in Asia - why the hell do they have that 3000 feet gap between the top of the tires and the fender??????
Who is going offroading with an Elantra or a GS400????
Other than that, I think the car looks pretty decent!

I think the shadows in the pictures on that website accentuate the gap a little bit - so the stance is probably a little more acceptable in person than it looks from a straight profile picture.
But I've noticed the same thing - most vehicles from Asia have major gap. That's one of the things I like most about my Nissan Sentra SE - the stance is just about right for the car - less than 2 inches of gap front and back.

Investigation
NHTSA Ramps Up Hyundai Elantra Investigation
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it is ramping up its investigation of Hyundai’s Elantra sedan. The NHTSA has now received more than 500 complaints of air bag malfunctions in 2001-2002 Elantra models.
The NHTSA has discovered that the air bag malfunctions could be the result of poorly placed cup holders. According to Automotive News, the Elantra’s air bag sensor is close to the vehicle’s cup holders, which could be allowing liquids to spill into the module. However, the Elantra’s wiring is also being investigated.
Both Hyundai and the NHTSA have collected 22 crash complaints, 15 of which have resulted in injury. The NHTSA is also looking into two fatal crashes where air bag malfunctions are suspected.
Hyundai says it has received 9,100 warranty claims which could be related to the defect. If a recall is issued, 150,000 vehicles could be involved.
In a separate investigation, the NHTSA is also looking into engine stalling complaints on Hyundai’s 2007-2008 Elantra. The NHTSA has received four complaints, one of which resulted in a crash with injuries. A faulty fuel pump is believed to be the culprit. About 167,000 2007-2008 Elantras are on the road today.
