I like that they are incorporating a belly pan of some kind. We need pictures! These mods are similar to what Fiat has done in Europe, just tune the car for MPG. In a way it seems like the manufacturers are just returning to the late 1980's.
I also like the Accent design better than the Elantra. My Mom says it looks like a slipper. Ha ha, if I ever got one, I could name it "The Slippery Slipper".
