Went back to the auto show for a second day last night. Found a Sonata that they had open. Having sat in a Camry, Accord and a Ford Fusion, the Sonata simply blows them away. It wasn't even a contest.
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.

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