Ah gotcha. Still will never buy a Hyundai after the failure of my brand new 07 Accent.

It is a 2012.

I think it looks really good, however the taillights are a bit awkward.

Gotcha. The 2011 is the same body style as the 2007 I had then.

Sorry was just skimming the story - says 2011 but for China not us.

I know that they are better than they use to be. But I don't think that I will ever buy one.

Oddly enough, even the current Accent has been rated one of the most reliable cars you can buy right alongside the Yaris. And since this generation debuted about 4 years ago, Hyundai has greatly improved even that much more. So this new one should be outstanding.

I didn't like the 2007 as it just felt "cheap". It had no reliability issues, was just not a car enthusiast's car. It also only got around 30 MPG highway which did not suit my commute well.

i think all the car companies should get together and make their hatchs almost identical in appearance. that would be awesome.

btw, that was meant to be sardonic.

Dude every car "has been rated one of the most reliable" at least once. Especially with bought out consumer reports. The difference between toyota and hyundai is toyota constantly tops EVERY list. Do some real research and you'll realize your just buying in to bought out lists. Someone just posted a dutch rating system on here and the first hyundai was in like the 40s.

Sounded more sarcastic than sardonic, but then I didn't hear the tone of voice.

I'm still going with sardonic. I could be wrong though. Frankly, it's hard for me to tell the two apart. However that should be "hatches" not hatchs. Don't know what I was thinking.

Back on topic though... seriously, they are all starting to look too much alike. I can tell them apart but I doubt the average onlooker can. Mostly I'm just disappointed in the new Yaris.
