I was just reading a review of the new Hyundai Accent.

It costs just over $12,000 and it gets about 26 miles in the city, and 30-odd on the highway.

But it?s bugly, to be sure.

Bugly?

(Think: VW Bug–that?s partly where the word came from. You can conjure up its other derivation on your own.)

Anyway, consider the fact that my SUV gets about 15 or 16 miles per gallon, but it is roomy, safe, sporty, and prestigious.

What would it take for me to even think of driving the Hyundai or something in its general class?
