Hyundai: Sonata News

When I look real fast that Hyundai insignia (steering wheel, top of engine) it sometime seems to morph into the Toyota logo. Upon closer inspection it's a bit more obvious what it is.

Hyundai's redesigned Sonata gets bigger V6; Accord, Camry targeted - - PETER CHANG | Automotive News - - Source: Autoweek
The engine will displace 3.3 liters vs. 2.7 liters in the current model.
The base inline-four engine, a new powerplant developed by Hyundai Motor Co., Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and DaimlerChrysler AG, will stay at 2.4 liters.

lol the ass looks 90% identical to current Accord sedan and the headlight looks like A8... Good shit... they better squeeze some 220+ HP out of that 3.3L V6... otherwise it s just the lamest 3.3L ever...

I just hope they can produce torque numbers that are consistent with engines of this size (around 240 lb-ft).

I don't think the interior is that great. The gauges, especially the needles, look corny. Should've just kept it simple.
I don't like the carbon fiber accents either. And to the GM-esque one-piece interior door panels. Doesn't look good in a Saturn, not going to look good in a Hyundai either.

where are the radio's controls? I am a fan of simplification and like how the driver is in control, but the passenger has no controls from what I see.
