Next rip off honda's dash panel, rip off the focus exterior, lol let's just steal from everyone then we have our own car, next AUTO only so far according to that ... pfft I don't want no auto. and did you notice that there are no low range gears selectable? P-R-N-D only. Morons <_< have they forgotten about the need for extra engine braking on occasion? I'd never buy a car without at least 1st gear selectable to hold it.

Focus On This New "hyundai" - DD1 - 09-16-2005 hahaha owned by a french guy^^^^ Focus On This New "hyundai" - Phantom - 09-16-2005 5sp auto is just that. Focus On This New "hyundai" - guilty - 09-16-2005 It could be cool.. I love the look of it, but Hyundai is always bad for ripping off other cars to make thier style. I heard that the next Tiburon is going to be RWD, so without considering the lame-as-s**t Elantra, the Accent could be moving up to be thier sporty FWD car. Hopefully there's more power for this car than the previous Accent models. Focus On This New "hyundai" - french_connection - 09-16-2005 I think they look more alike than the focus.

I did but I still prefer an actual selectable gear. Trusting the tranny computer to stay in the gear that you want electronically, is to me anyways, asking for grief. What stops the "shiftronic" tranny from deciding "Ooops, revving to high in first, going to second now"?

An Auto shifter controlled by a computer will always be faster and more "presice" than any human. ;) Focus On This New "hyundai" - NefCanuck - 09-17-2005 Flofocus,Sep 16 2005, 09:15 AM Wrote:NefCanuck,Sep 16 2005, 01:28 AM Wrote:french_connection,Sep 15 2005, 07:10 PM Wrote:NefCanuck,Sep 15 2005, 11:07 PM Wrote:Phantom,Sep 15 2005, 07:03 PM Wrote:First they get negative because the website didn't work correctly in firefox.

No arguement that it is "faster" and "more precise" than any human, but the tranny as smart as it is knows nothing about what the drivers intentions are when the driver is trying to say, get a car out of a snowbank and is rocking the car back and forth trying to get unstuck (Try rocking a car with a column mounted shifter... PITA compared to a floor mounted shifter) NefCanuck Focus On This New "hyundai" - SangriaRedZX5 - 09-17-2005 I don't like it... I don't like Hyundai's Focus On This New "hyundai" - Ghandi - 09-18-2005 A sport compact car with a 5 speed auto... Automatic trannys are more complicated and more fragile than common good old maunal transmissions. I wouldnt complain in a Lexus or an Infiniti, but a sporty hyundai accent... the odds are against you. Anyway who wants a sport compact car with an auto tranny... Focus On This New "hyundai" - Frost__2001 - 09-19-2005 Actually after compairing it to the Honda Jazz / Fit, it looks like a carbon copy of the Jazz / fit. check out the Honda Jazz / fit at their UK web site. Honda Jazz / Fit Focus On This New "hyundai" - K_OS - 09-20-2005 The Accent SR as it stands right now will never be produced, as for the way it looks like an Echo go check the 4 Door model it looks like they stole the molds made a few minor touch ups and dropped in the new Accent drivetrain. Also the Accent is a low end machine they might get away with charging up to 20g's for it but nobody will buy it if it comes in at the same price as a well equiped Elantra. As for the drivetrain from what I've been reading about it on a couple of other forums is that the 2.0L turbo engine in the SR is a current generation 2.0L Beta, from the start the Beta engines were meant to be turbo engines from the factory but Hyundai backed out at the last minute citing reliabilty goals, there are a few street examples of Betas being turbocharged in the neighbourhood of 400hp at the wheels but most keep them in the 300hp range and use them as there daily drivers. Laterz :) Focus On This New "hyundai" - Drivesthebeast - 09-20-2005 Though it may be a blatant copy of other cars, it's certainly nice looking overall...wonder what the retail on them is gonna be... Still, the Mk II Focus ST's in the UK with the skirt kits and rims still look better, and it's guaranteed to perform better too... |
