Interior materials and features were WAY, way better. The Ford Fusion had shockingly poor materials. Lots of hard, flimsy plastic. The Accord and Camry didn't feel nice until you got to over $30,000 and then you're competing against low end Genesis sedans. The Sonata is going to be priced lower than the competition, have a better warranty, has best in class mileage, and best in class HP. In the last reliability survey I saw, Hyundai came in fourth out of all brands. Only Lexus, Porsche, and Cadillac beat it. And for the patriots, it was designed in Irvine, CA and built in Alabama.

I think Toyota, Honda, and Nissan should really, really be worried.
I agree with you on this....the Sonata will sell very well I think. This car is roomy, good looking, has great MPG and decent power it seems. Interior was very very nice, blows the camry, altima and fusion away. Fusion may have great mpg, but just looks so bad on the inside, hard GM-like plastic interior all over the place, what a mess. The Genesis made me think about trading my GS...what a nice vehicle Hyundai has assembled.

The Equus I was told will range upper 40s to low 60s and LOL at the hood ornament.
