But there"s bad news for British rally fans. It"s available only to customers in America, even though its UK heritage was played up at the unveiling, where the model was hidden beneath a huge Union Jack flag.
Unveiled in three-door...
Unveiled in three-door form for the first time at the SEMA show last week, the new Accent (pictured) is based on the Kia Rio platform. But with sharper lines, sporty alloys and bulging wheelarches, it"s more distinctive. Under the bonnet, the Accent will come with a 1.6-litre petrol engine, while a 1.4 petrol and a 1.5 diesel should arrive later in 2006. An official European debut is scheduled for January"s Brussels Motor Show.
