Something about the front end says '2007 Camry' to me. I think this looks pretty yucky, actually. I prefer the current Aveo, and the Yaris, and the Rio. It's still not particularly fuel efficient either. It's well outfitted though... the gloves are off when a $13,000 Hyundai has 6 standard airbags!

Its stantard stereo system has more wattage than the new Civic EX sedan model. That's crazy...I'm surprised its standard with 6 speakers also.

This will be a great choice for a first car of the Hyundai loyal children, a good city car, and a great bargain in any case.

Fuel economy is one area where the Koreans aren't quite up to speed yet. My Maxx gets close to 36 mpg on the highway, for cripe's sake.

Otherwise, looks like another Hyundai winner.
