Accenting Your Wardrobe or Accentuating Life
The 2006 Accent brings Hyundai one car closer to completing of its 24/7 program - a plan that institutes 7 new vehicles in 24 months. The new car is slightly bigger and a great deal better in every way - something truly exciting in the subcompact segment.
For good reason Hyundai's executive staff and dealers are also getting excited about the new entry.
"The Accent has always been a popular vehicle, but recently, this segment has become highly competitive," commented Robert F. Cosmai, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "We believe drivers will once again embrace this all-new Accent withits segment-leading standard safety features, increased interior space,and content that is typically not available in this segment, all ofwhich should accelerate this Accent to the front of the pack."
I've always thought of the Hyundai Accent as a great car. In fact, it's even on my list of "fun" vehicles - an exclusive list that many cars don't make due to its strict criterion. And now, with the all-new, redesigned 2006 model, it's just that much better.
I recently attended the launch event for the Accent, incidentally on my birthday - sorry, a woman never reveals her age - and what better way to spend a birthday, or for that matter a birthday week, than in the company of fellow colleagues testing out a batch of fun little cars? Well, maybe the time would be more enjoyable with Fernando Alonso or Jenson Button, but I'm sure my time will come.
