now this Sonata looks like big pimpin. seriously...one bad road machine. The Studie Sonata looks like the Saab 9-3 Aero had a kid with a Honda Accord lol. the kit is just enough to make it look tough and styling without attracting the cops. I can't read korean but any koreans could definitely give us a heads up

It makes me forget about the nasty Elantras and old school Ponys I see sometimes. If they offered this kit in Canada and Hyundai improved their total quality, not initial quality...I'd consider getting this car. It just looks that **** good

Doesn't really look like a saab 9-3 to me.

Front looks like an IS 300, and back looks like an accord.

the front grille reminds me of the Saab...I don't know why. Even though it's not that similar...lol I guess I'm weird.

Whoa that actually looks pretty sweet

Edit: Hyundai's quality has improved drastically. Check this out:

(sorry about the small text)

They used to hang WAY down there, but they're moving on up. It's amazing that you move a manufacturer to the US and quality actually improves

Kia is still way down there though, but Hyundai has moved its way up to being neck and neck with Subaru... a (holy crap!) japanese manufacturer

holy crap it surprises me that Chrysler (The American firm) is beating down their German partners. lol all the schitzel must be going the Benz's head now. and Hyundai's improving now but then how come they keep saying they're first in initial quality on their commercials? shameless lying or what?

It's a POS whose designers ripped off Honda. :ThumbsDown:

I agree. The not only have a similar name, but they are copying the designs as well

personally i prefer the older styled sonata. it was more unique

I prefer to take the bus.

why pay high priced designers to draw up something new when you can pay some low priced designers to steal stuff from other manufacturers?

but one has to ask how much power does it produce?

Posted by: BMWFilms

I wish I knew Korean...the entire site is in Korean but I'd laugh if it was 240HP like the Honda Accord. Considering they stole elements of design and more..it wouldn't surprise me.

The 4-Banger makes 162 hp and the 6 Cylinder makes 235, 5 hp shy of the Accord.

Man, Hyundai/Kia doesn't know how to design their own cars.

Sorento == RX300

Sonata == Honda Accord/Acura TSX

Amanti == Jaguar S-Type

Tiburon == Designed by an outside designer...

...which is 2 hp on the Accord's 4cyl, and 5 short of the 3.0 V6.

the first Tiburon reminded me of a hybrid of the last model Supra and fourth generation Celica.
