This is such a beauty....hints of benz, Mazda, and Volvo, but neither of them.

When will this come out here locally? And how much do you guys think this will be priced here?

Ganda diba?

IMHO, a lot better than Accord and Camry!

Hyundai's starting to have that same corporate look for their products. Let's see if it works out for them.

*noobskie: Yeah they actually are...and they're doing a good job at it, too...their only dilemma for now is the transition of buyers from other well-known brands into buying Hyundai Sonata or Genesis. It sure has worked well for them for their lower-end models such as the Getz, Tucson, etc. But for the higher end models going against benz, Volvo, Volkswagen, I'm not so sure yet how it will fair locally. Sonata is a nice car, but not so sure how people will welcome it locally.

Quite intriguing for me IMHO...such a nice car theoretically and in the photos, I wonder how it will be personally...hmmm...

with the current price of sonata 1.3M+ the top of the line could be between 1.5M-1.6M...size probably close to camry with its new design,new engine 2.4L for 194hp,6 speed a/t transmission huh!...sweet!!

Guys, if you were to get a sonata which color would you want and why...crystal white or hyper metallic??? Am having a dilemma which one to choose...help please. Thanks

Actualy, crystal white and hyper metallic are also my two top choices. Ended up with the white since I'm really a monocolor guys (black and white are my top color selections). However, everytime I see a Hyper metallic, I still turn my head just to check it out. Regarding experience on the road, they're more or less equal. Madami na ako nakitang white, madami na ring metallic. Frankly, once palang ako nakakita ng red.

They are both stunning colors! Placed an order for a white one because the wife wants that color. Even went to a dealer this afternoon to check out the hyper metallic, timing din since a white sonata was was just parked outside. Parehong maganda, mas eye catching nga Lang yung white under direct sunlight because of the pearl effect. I still have Monday to finalize. I expect to have this new baby latest by Friday next week
