    Rio. Very sporty indeed, hope it has the performance to match. The Accent does look good, but I personally prefer the sporty touch over the luxurious touch in smaller cars.

    The Rio looks like a scaled down version of a VW Scirocco R. It looks good but knowing that it looks almost the same! only thing about the Rio is that it's kinda smiling while the VW looks serious.

    BTT, i'd pick the Accent. Why? it looks so elegant and discreet. Just replace those rims, please.

    Kaso parang Sportage = Tucson lang yan. Kahit may Dynamax AWD yung Sportage parang wala naman nagbago.

    Yung engine same na 1.6 at 1.4 Gamma. Last week of November 2011 daw ang launching ng Rio..

    Both look nice. I'll pick Kia Rio if it's hatch and with DRL with LED's, projector headlamps and LED rear lamps.

    Pictures can be deceiving.

    Accent muna ako, for now. Just until I see an actual Rio unit.
