Looks awesome for its class. I am sure they will sell a ton of these. I think its much better looking than anything Toyota is producing in this class. We will see how they hold up to the abuse of the teens that will most likely be sitting behind the wheel of these econoboxes

The hatchback, IMO, definitely looks better than the sedan. The sedan, IMO, looks too much like the new Elantra and Sonata, whose styling I don't care for at all.

Inside, I see they have kept the same bluish-purple background for the digital readouts, and the annoying zig-zag shifter. Otherwise, the interior, at least up front, looks well-done. I hope they keep the two-tone interior option, which, on the last Accent, looked very nice (the one in the image, of course, is all-black).

And this is a class below, LOL.

I've said it before, Hyundai is the new benchmark. Unbelievable.

Close, but not quite, Paul. The Accent competes with the Fit and Yaris, not the Civic and Corolla. But.....I understand your point. I agree that it beats the Civic's interior with that silly split-level dash/tach feature, but I'm not so sure that it beats the Corolla's...especially the Corolla LE model with the wood-tone trim inside.
