Default 06 Sonata already getting aftermarket love

Looks like the 2006 Sonata is already getting some aftermarket loving. Check these out.









Hyundai did a great job with the new Sonata. I applaud them.

Very Saab 9-3ish mixed in with a little Audi. Looks great none the less.

One thing at a time. Quality first (done), then design (working on it with the other vehicles), THEN comes performance

I like the second one, it doesn't resemble the stereotypical Hyundai product

Hyundia did a fabulous job with the Sonata restyle!!! Lets just hope this new recall on the '06 Sonata's doesn't hurt them too much. I don't know any deatils on the recall though. I only saw a quick blurb on CNN last night.

Hyundai/Kia needs to really stop stealing Lexus designs...
Surprised they didn't do a split head light assembly like the new GS...
I admit it looks nice but I'd give them much more props if the car didn't remind me of another car. If they come up with a design that is hot but doesn't look like much else on the road than I'll start giving them more respect.

This one does look like a baby GS and the side profiles of the car look very Saab or Audi-like. they did a good job this time. I hope they do well.
