Scion hate from the Autoblog

While reviewing the Hyundai Accent SE, the Autoblog couldn't help but keep bringing up another car brand.

Wow... I'll take my ugly hell-box over a Hyundai accent any day.

Ya, I had a comment in there about them saying the Accent looks better than a tC and stopped reading. What a joke. Even if they mean the xA/B/D, they should specific what they're saying.

You got me, maybe they didn't tint the windows and it got hot in the sun? You have to admit though, the xB1 seats aren't the most comfortable and it's never been accused of being cute or sleek. All Scions ugly though? The xA was deemed pretty cute and the tC sexy, no comment on the xD.

Obviously that author isn't in Scions "target market." What as @$$ though.

I too would take my "hell box," or any other car for that matter, than that little thing they call a car.

The first check mark in the Accent's plus column is styling that's normal.

What a poor article. "Anything styled for a particular market or doesn't have completely bland styling sucks!"
