Why wont Hyundai release a turbo accent?
Since the Veloster is doing so bad in sales, I think Hyundai should release a turbo Accent. I think it would sell better than the Veloster because you would have a functional trunk and a 4 door.

The accent is the bottom of the line. They don't want to increase sale price any more than necessary and even in volume you're talking about $500-1000 per unit.

lets see how this hyundai truck does
the cafe standards will push for more mpgs
they will get an ecoboost style engine. 1.0 with a small turbo to get 140hp.

You guys are right, I was thinking of the old days when turbos were all for power. A 1L or 1.3L turbo accent wouldn't surprise me.
