The New Hyundai Accent Sir... er.. SR!
Look it is an SiR.... with the "i" removed!
http://www.hyundaicanada.com/ACCSR/E...2_1024x768.jpg Just as a reference.... this is a Honda SiR (Sorry if this happens to be your car, I grabbed it off Beyond). http://www.zia.ca/albums/album26/DSCN3116.jpg |
Thats not a bad looking car for a little Hyundai, but would i drive..No way.
It does resemble the Civic a bit. |
I'm pretty sure that's just an Si... I don't think the US has had an SiR since the late 80s or early 90s.

US Si = Canadian SiR

Actually on an unrealted topic, BMW recently made this a$$hole announcement (keep in mind the Canadian 335i is currently priced at approximatly 16,000$ MORE than the identical US model). Q: Why do BMW models appear to be less expensive in the U.S.? A: While on the surface a U.S. vehicle may appear to be less expensive, there are several other factors that would significantly increase the cost of purchasing and owning a U.S. vehicle. These include:
Q: Can I still lease or finance a U.S. vehicle through BMW Financial Services Canada? A: No, U.S. vehicles cannot be leased or financed through BMW Financial Services Canada. As a result, the customer must purchase the vehicle outright and is not able to take advantage of sensible monthly lease payments resulting from strong residual values of BMW Canada vehicles, or any special rates and programs that may apply to a specific model or Series. Q: Do all U.S. warranties and services still apply to vehicles imported to Canada? A: No, vehicles imported from the U.S. are not eligible for certain services that would otherwise be available to the customer. The absence of such services can result in significant additional cost and inconvenience to the customer during ownership. The following table outlines services affected through importation to Canada: |
Yeah that price difference from Canada to the US is Bullshit. Fricken profit mongers. All those features mentioned do no add up to 16 grand. ( Sorry to get off topic)
Back to the Accent sr. what are the specs on it? I heard that with all the "high performance parts" they've included it really isn't any faster. Can someone confirm? |

Yes, it's poo,... well it's OK, but for a fully tricked out one, it's (I think) like $23000 Doesn't even have the 2.0L Beta engine from the Tiburon in there, only has the 1.6DOHC that was in the older Accents. It's Slow especially with all the add ons. Just more weight. Would get a fit over that anyday, and I used to work for Hyundai and Drive a 99 Tib, (Which I REALLY Miss) Anyway, yeah, it isn't any faster. It's nicer looking, that's about it. If they stuck the 2.0L Beta in there like they were rumored to have been thinking of doing, I would buy one! The Beta Engine is ROCK solid! |

The Beta Engine is ROCK solid! i actually think it looks pretty good. given hyundai's frequent emulation of honda, i wonder if the 'sr' conotation was on purpose, like sugarphreak said, maybe it IS literally 'SiR' with the 'i' taken out! i think it does look good though. it would be a nice alternative to an older second car. i like. but if it was my only car, i wouldn't take it over the fit. Sugarphreak; was the canadian SiR different from our ep3 hatch with regards to powertrain or transmission? we got a 5 speed manual with a 160 (155) hp k20. |
