Looks pretty decent. Certainly better than current bland and cheap looking Accent. Personally I like that toned-down grill of this new Accent against the new Sonata.

Wow, pretty impressive. Looks a bit hefty to be an Accent though.
Man, Hyundai is as serious as it gets.

no, i'm 99% sure this is Verna(Accent). Confirmed with many korean websites.

Veloster (4door CRX like Eco Coupe)
all of them will have Fluidic Sculpture design cues.

I'm sure it will be a good, competent small car under the skin (as most recent Hyundai products are), but I'm not impressed with the direction that Hyundai is taking with their latest-generation styling. I didn't like the looks of the new 2011 Sonata, nor do I particularly care for the looks of this car either. The mirror-mounted turn signals are a nice feature, however......unusual in the econobox class.
But I'll withold more comments until I see the car in person....or more detailed pictures.

I strongly disagree, joe. This version of the Accent was anything BUT a turd. Yes, its short wheelbase and small wheels/tires gave it a rather jittery ride compared to the smoother Elantra and Sonata, and it was a little sluggish with the automatic transmission. But.....was competent, reliable, well-built, well-finished, economical, had an attractive interior (in the two-tone version), and extremely well-done controls/gauges. It was an excellent value for the money (with incentives, generally 15K or less, out the door), and was a new car I highly recommended for those without a lot of cash to spend. In fact, I helped a few people, myself, shop for and buy one, and, so far, they have been very pleased.....one of them uses it as a daily, long-distance commuter car and puts some 40K miles a year on it. The new Accent will have its work cut out for it if it wants to live up to the old one.
