Press Release Body = Santa Rosa, CA: Manly Hyundai, the leasing Hyundai dealer in
California, presents the all-new three door GS and SE models of the popular Accent.

Hyundai Motor America unveiled the 2007 Accent lineup at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show,
adding the GS and SE models to the recently released four-door GLS sedan. While the
all-new Accent GLS four-door hit showrooms in December 2005, the new 2007 three-door
GS and SE models are scheduled for arrival this spring. The Accent GS will be priced
at $10,9152 carrying on the Hyundai tradition of exceptional value. Add in the
advantage of America's Best Warranty, including five years and 60,000 miles of
bumper-to-bumper coverage and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and
choosing Accent becomes even simpler.

"Our all-new Accent lineup is going to continue to set the pace in the entry
segment," said Owen Koh, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "We welcome the
return of Toyota, Nissan and Honda to this segment, and trust that consumers will
see the value and quality advantage that our continuous dedication to this segment
provides."

The new Accents overcome consumers' preconceived notions of compromises among
performance, comfort and safety attributes in an economy car. All Accents come
standard with six airbags, including side air curtains protecting both front and
rear seat outboard passengers. The class-leading 110-horsepower 1.6-liter DOHC
in-line four-cylinder engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT),
sport-tuned suspension and 16-inch alloy wheels with P205/45R16 tires (SE model)
enhance the car's fun-to-drive character.

Starting with the 2006 models, all Accents have newfound power under their hoods
with a 1.6-liter DOHC in-line four-cylinder engine that features four valves per
cylinder with CVVT. The DOHC and CVVT combination helps to give the engine a very
broad powerband, coupled with high fuel efficiency and low emissions. With the
better-breathing CVVT, performance has improved. Horsepower now peaks at 110 at 6000
rpm (an almost six percent increase), and torque is 106 lb.-ft. at 4500 rpm. These
numbers put the Accent at the top of its class in terms of horsepower.

The new Accent lineup perfectly illustrates Hyundai's devotion to passenger safety.
Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicates that vehicles
equipped with the combination of seat-mounted side air bags and head-protecting side
air curtains experience a 45 percent reduction in fatalities in side impact
collisions.
