You did but I remember it already been discussed a few times while back (I think there are several more threads about this same car pointing to the same site) so I merged them. :grin:
I'm really hoping that Hyundai has it in them to build an actual turbo kit that can be dealer-installed with support and warranty. That would make them heads and tails above any other manufacturer out there. Mazda or Suzuki have some decent kits available for their cars produced with factory cooperation I believe, but they're still aftermarket. If Hyundai could pull this off, it would definitely be a step toward the image that they've been trying to create with the Genesis coupe IMO.
Never happen. The Accent always is and always has been their small, cheap, economical vehicle. They won't dare do anything to risk that reputation of it and the reliability of it by approving a factory forced induction kit, aftermarket or not. Besides, it might cut into the sales of the new Velostar and Genesis Coupe and they'd want that even less.

Oh. I didn't know you could do that. Alright. No problemo.
And I didn't even know it was all wheel drive. I thought it was still front wheel drive. Didn't really read into it. Just thought it looked cool. haha.

Well, Hyundai is trying to put a lot of their previous image behind them. I think they may just try to do with the accent what Honda did with the Civic: before, it was just an econo box, but then they came out with the SI. If they ditch the sport version of the accent for the Velostar, then maybe they won't be doing this. I do think that Hyundai would gain a lot of credibility looking out for their sport compact enthusiasts and set themselves apart. Plus, if they're discontinuing the accent, how can supporting it cut into their sales? They would be supporting those people that other companies would forget about and creating brand loyalty. And all it would cost would be a $2000-3000 kit.
