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 Canada President and CEO, Steven Kelleher, is also feeling enthusiastic about the new entry. "It's very exciting. The new Accent is something we've been looking forward to for a long time," said Kelleher in a recent interview I had with him. "The Accent, I think, and I might be a little biased, is a terrific vehicle."

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 in my home city, and also 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.
