Both seem like good options. The Elantra costs more but you are also going to get more horsepower.

This does show how much of a deal the iM is, but wouldn't the Accent be more of a direct competitor? It starts at $17,145.

I think the reasoning is that the Accent is smaller than the iM. Otherwise they could've compared it too a Fiesta as well.

That's a segment I think the Yaris falls into.

With more digging into what each includes and in detail, there will be pro's and cons to pull from for both, chances are there will be folks that get the Elantra instead.
