It looks like the new Accent will be available this Fall. Preview it here. What do you think? |

The new Accent will be shown at the Canadian International Auto Show that starts on February 16th in Toronto. We'll finally see what was hidden on the spy shots shown in this discussion Since Hyundai said it wants to differenciate its brand from its sister company Kia, I think the new Accent will be a little more upscale than the 2006 Rio, on which it's based. At least, I hope it will be different enough in styling. |

Does anybody have news about the future Accent? It seems it wasn't shown in Toronto after all, contrary to what I read on MSN Autos (I won't trust them anymore...) |

Is just about the last place that ANYONE should look for automotive information. ~alpha |

| According to Edmunds Inside Line, Hyundai plans to unveil its 2006 Accent at the New York Auto Show next week. | |

The 2006 Accent was unveiled today in New York. You can see some information on this site: http://www.hyundaiaccent.com/index.html I'm glad it doesn't look at all like the 2006 Kia Rio, but it has some Toyota Corolla resemblance imho. According to the specs, it seems to be a mechanical twin to the new Rio: 110hp 1.6L engine, same wheelbase and dimensions, same suspension layout. Sadly, the rear suspension is no longer independent, which was a characteristic unique to the Accent in its class (correct me if I'm wrong on that).

The tailights remind me of the Protege. Nice rear end and side profile I think. A rather stand-out feature is the very high trim strip on the side--the better to tackle those SUV doors I guess. Unfortunately ABS is not standard (as it will be on a competitor, the Fit), but at least Hyundai retained the trademark 8-way driver's seat. I think the dash looks better in grey--the tan looks a little cheap to me, with no trim around the HVAC dials. See the photos: http://new-york-auto-show.autoblog.com/entry/1234000730037482/ If the crash test results are good, this is definitely a car I'll look at when it's time to turn over my '01 Elantra to my oldest son in 18 months.

| 92 cu. feet-- is the same as an Acura Legend (the big one) of fifteen years ago. Cars like Big Gulps are getting larger. | |
