(The Tiburon, BTW, is the grandson of the old Scoupe you had, years ago, but, of course, is a totally different car under the surface)

The black painted grill looks much better than that twisted metal chrome grill. Hyundai has to always one up on Lexus so they pull the head lights further back than Lexus, in this case, its not a good look. The taillights looks like something from Ebay, cheap looking. Overall, its a nice car for the price, but thats what everybody saids about Hyundai.

Whatever, so subtle that nobody noticed and nobody even knows if the picture is real or photochopped.

The panoramic sunroof is definitely cool, and I didn't expect them to offer that, so credit to Hyundai for that move
.
Most of these pics are likely of loaded, or well-optioned cars. I'm curious to see what a base model will look like.
Also the car is supposed to come with 6 airbags. Slightly underwhelming, given the current "dated" Camry comes with 7 airbags.

In order for the new Sonata to succeed, the top of the line model have to be thousands less than the top of the line Camry, which means around the low $20Ks.

To compare, the current old Sonata loaded has an MSRP of roughly 28K.
Genesis V6 base price is 32K. If a loaded Sonata comes anywhere close to 30K, Hyundai might be in trouble.

If a loaded Sonata is 30K, then what is the point in taking a chance with Hyundai. Hyundai's selling point was that they can make the same car as others for less, I think they are trying to upscale too much, they need to get back to their roots.
