#343 of 598 BIG, BAD NEWS: HYUNDAI DELAYS HYBRID ACCENT/RIO by pocono35 May 18, 2006 (7:27 am)
It is being reported out of Korea that Hyundai has delayed the launch of its hybrid Accent/Rio until 2009. This is a major letdown for those awaiting an affordable hybrid from Hyundai. It is thought that Hyundai was struggling to make the new vehicle profitable. This news is just another negative along with the indictment of their Chairman. Yesterday, Honda announced major expansion in N. America including the addition of a hybrid car below the Civic and a 4 cylinder diesel engine. These recent problems for Hyundai are again proving the skeptics right that Hyundais archaic leadership structure, void of checks and balances and laced with family domination, needs to be broken up and eliminated. The growth and future of this multi-billion dollar conglomerate, on which thousands and thousands of employees depend, has been jeopardized due the immoral actions of a few scoundrels. Every good thing this man, Chung, has done is now in the toilet. Replies to this message: backy (May 18, 2006 7:52 am) kirstie_h (May 18, 2006 8:38 am) joe97 (May 18, 2006 8:46 am)

Replying to: pocono35 (May 18, 2006 7:27 am) The other thing to consider is that by this fall, Hyundai will have launched eight new models in the past 24 months. That is a lot for any company to tackle in a short timespan. So delaying the hybrid Accent launch another year to make it profitable doesn't worry me. This would be their first hybrid in the U.S. so they have to get it right. Hyundai already sells diesel models around the world, so Honda doesn't have a big advantage over Hyundai there.   Can we talk about the cars, not the politics?

Replying to: backy (May 18, 2006 7:52 am) We can talk about the political climate, as it relates to Hyundai only. This is fine as long as it doesn't veer away from vehicles and get into a general cultural/political conversation.

Replying to: pocono35 (May 18, 2006 7:27 am) Accent hybrid is coming a lot earlier than 2009. To the best of my knowledge, Hyundai is still on track to release Accent hybrid next year in the US. In fact, Hyundai has already released press pics of the hybrid, scheduled to arrive in the home market this month, I believe. As for the Rio hybrid, I'm not certain about its timing but should follow soon after the release of Accent hybrid.   Earlier indication: the hybrid will acheive about 45mpg fuel economy (note this is based on the Korean spec model) - not bad on first try.

Replying to: joe97 (May 18, 2006 5:38 am)   Niiiice color. I wonder what the SE would look like in a metallic charcoal gray or dark silver like my dad's MINI Cooper S.   Right now I would lean towards blue or the orange/red in the picture above. I have a silver Elantra now and want something that stands out a bit more in my next car.

#350 of 598 SR? by sonatabean May 30, 2006 (7:12 am)
There is going to be an Accent SR? Replies to this message: shado4 (May 30, 2006 8:35 am)

Replying to: sonatabean (May 30, 2006 7:12 am) I think it's a typo. Not SR, but SE.
