At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Hyundai announced even more good news for the Accent, revealing that next year a special high-mileage "Blue" edition will be available that offers even higher levels of fuel economy without adding to the price. Accent "Blue" will feature fuel-efficient modifications to reduce engine friction and rolling resistance, enhance aerodynamics, optimize gearing and revise engine calibrations for maximum efficiency, all adding up to higher fuel mileage and lower emissions than today's model.

I like the look of the Accent and I finally fit in it (inside space is now comparable to my '95 Elantra) but I was totally underwhelmed by the FE. It will be really interesting to see what this new model is worth!

YEs, i'm on the tip of the edge of my seat. I'm really interested to see what this model will offer. over 40mpg from epa? That would look like hypermiling 70+ without trying too hard. I'm sure 80mpg wouldnt be too far away at all!
