No Veloster?
No Veloster, but we got the world premiere of the 2012 Accent, a 5-door on a podium and a sedan unlocked on the floor. The new Elantras were there, of course, as was the Sonata Hybrid.
Cool, how's it look in real life? Better proportioned then the old model? BTW - it is the North American Premiere, the world premiere was in Beijing last spring
A US car mag called it a world-premiere because the car had the "Accent" name ... "North American" premiere is a better fit.
The Accent gets the same 138 hp four as the Veloster, so it should have more velocity... This car should please a larger crowd than the youth-intended Fiesta, Sonic and 2. The interior is not boring, don't get me wrong, it's just a bit less extroverted. The inside feels a bit smaller than the Elantra, but not cramped.
BTW, rear headroom is poor in the Elantra and (esp.) the Sonata. At 6.0', I barely clear the headliner.
