New Hyundai Sonata

[Daredevil]

One look at the back, I tot it was the new Accord. Then the front also looks like the Accord Euro model. Hahahah....freaking Koreans.The last Jaguar S Type lookalike model must have done well.....Comes in 2.4l & 3.3l V6.

Front lights....quite fierce looking.

gosh! obvious dirtbag koreans - darn rip-offs. lol

how could they? ;p

 

[Crymson]

Yup .. it sure does look like the new accord. Quite a few korean cars look like other brand. Kia Sorento new front grill looks like X5. Previous Hyundai Sonata looks like a Jag.

Anyways, when are they launching this model in Malaysia?

 

[chairoger]

Yup! Honda lookalike especially from the rear. 2.4 l should be around RM 125 k ? Just guessing lar.

JV wit Honda?????? But i think this Sonata look much better then the old model....

my favourite is the new sportage, freelander from thr front, cr-v from the side and xc90 from the back. 3 (manufacturer from different countries) in 1 and it does not really look all that bad.

Of course, there was also the waja, but that is a different story.....

wow if 125k, thats a good price for a 2.4 large car. slightly lower than the real thing (honda accord) hehehe

I think it looks good and it's already touted to be a rave in US cos it's gonna be priced very attractively against competitors. Further, the new Sonata incorporates a lot of high tech production processes to ensure VW build quality. Seeing this, I can only ask - Proton? Where art thou? (Granted the Savvy feels quite promising the last time I sat in one - the lime green instrumentation feels unique!)

i think the sonata will be a hit due to its price..it'll probably be as good as a korean can ever be..
but i can't help thinking that i'll be driving a non original with design cues from other cars and that just disturbs the hell out of me... dunno,its just so disturbing.. :unsure:

 

[Daredevil]

Prices are out. Starts fom AUD25,490....

3.3 liter V6?? Would that be a variant from Mitsubishi?

The Koreans are doing great, I heard Kia cant even cope with the demands for the cars! The Sorento is doing great in the states.

Perhaps Kia can JV with Susuki and Singapore will have a National Car. Brand Name = KIA-SU
