Although we don't speak the Dutch, we've found out Hyundai is building a performance hatchback — based on its Accent model — the company plans to unveil at the Frankfurt motor show next week, according to AutoWeek Netherlands. Little is known about the rally-inspired Accent SR, as the hot hatch will likely be called, other than that it will sport a 2.0-liter turbo four hooked to a five-speed automatic (with manual-shift mode, natch), 18" wheels and enough body skirting to make a squad of cheerleaders squeal with envy. [Thanks to Dave for the tip.]
