I'm really liking it big-time!! 
I did some adjusting to my Sonata yesterday and mounted my Tom Tom in the gap below the instrument stack so its pretty much hidden with full satellite reading. With 30mpg on my V-6 and an excellent Infinity sound system, I've been debating suspension mods along with new rims, but who knows...
At the rate I'm going (
), I may still be looking when the 2011 comes out....

Could not disagree more. That crease is a very bold and distinctive gesture and is probably the most original idea Hyundai has put on any of their cars.

I like the silver better.. 
They do need to "tone" down some of chrome around the grill and sides but again, this is a nice option in its price point.
I can only imagine the aggressive commercial campaigns against Camry and Accord.. Its gonna get ugly..lol
Hyundai FTW

looks even better!
anyway, hyundai will jack up the price IMO. i think hyundai will increase the price like they did with the gen coupe. currently you can get a sonata thousands less than camcords, but i bet they will price it similarly to camcords. hyundai will get cockier. lol

The image enhancements definitely improve the proportions..
Joe, I agree. Ive been stating that this is a CamCord fighter but as you've stated it will draw attention from a much wider market segment.

This has one of the best looking steering wheels I've seen in a production car.

However.....
Why only single zone A/C? If I remember, cars in this caliber like Camry, Mazda 6 and Accord have dual zone climate control. Heck, my classmate's Ford Focus (european version) has dual zone already. Perhaps this is just a base version (as perhaps the higher-end models may have dual-zone A/C).
Nevertheless, I do appreciate the fact that you get a standard screen (as standard equipment on all variants). At least that's what this pic is trying to tell us.........
Anyways, perhaps an official release and more pics may answer some of our other questions. We'll just have to be patient then
