Hyundai used to be the black horse at a King Arthur white knight convention. A donkey on a carousel. The chubby girl at a dodgeball game. Their cars were leftovers, last resorts, I-can't-afford-any-other kind of vehicles.

Boy, just look at how that girl has grown up.
Hyundai has the mojo moving forward now, and truly, the sky is the limit – is this really the Accent? Yes, sir – the new 2006 Hyundai Accent. This is the Korean automaker's entry-level car – the one that arguably put them on the map, and the one that appeals to a steady demographic of young buyers who want as much as they can get for as little money as possible.

The new 2006 Hyundai Accent looks like it will give ‘em everything they want – and maybe a bit more. Redesigned from the ground up, the Accent combines traditional Hyundai strengths of value and warranty coverage with top-shelf safety equipment, an improved design and more room on the inside.
