so since the SAI is just like the HS, then this should get 40 mpg at 206 horses. Thats pretty good and rivals the Sonata.
Trunk space in the old Camry is about 300 liters so the new one is 15.5 cu ft of space. That is quite amazing since the normal old camry has only 15

Not to mention tiny trunk in every hybrid thats not Prius.
Hyundai has so many issues with their Hybrid... 4 recalls so far in 3 months on the market. And few more TSB's as well.
I was seriously considering Kia Optima Hybrid if it comes to Europe, but after so many issues they got in first few months, i dont want to wait to see long term reliability of their battery pack.

Do you have any comments regarding the 440-1120L cargo space reported in the Taiwanese site I quoted earlier though? It looks like Toyota have really carved a new dimension out of nowhere to accomodate the batteries. Where could that place be? The mind boggles.

Thanks for the link to the new pics and info. The Modellista edition looks quite good to me.

thanks.
Sai, or Sigh, is about right for a car similar to HS.

I think Toyota and Honda have higher incentives than Hyundai. Every Sonata and Elantra on dealer lots is sold or is about to be sold, that's how much demand Hyundai has now.
I've been looking for two months for an unsold Elantra to just merely take it for a spin. Guess what? Everytime I get there, it's either sold or almost sold.

This is why original Lexus lineup didnt sell well in Japan, it was custom tailored for US market only.
