Rendered Speculation: 2010 Hyundai Sonata
Last month at the LA Auto Show, Hyundai America CEO John Krafcik told us that the 2010 Hyundai Sonata will debut next November in LA with the hybrid version coming the following year. Weight reduction will be a major part of the new Sonata program. A speculative rendering has turned up of what the new Sonata might look like. Hyundai hasn't given us any hints about the car's design, but this drawing looks plausible. It draws heavily on the new Genesis sedan with a lower sleeker roof-line that looks much like the Volkswagen CC. The hybrid version will use Hyundai's new BlueHybrid powertrain with a 2.4L four cylinder and a lithium polymer battery. [Source: Global Motors]

Looking oh-so-Genesis like may'n't be a bad thing if done in a sportier mid-size format. IF Hyundai can do hybrid with as much value as they can do luxury (http://goodcarbadcar.blogspot.com/2008/12/good-12-v20-for-2009-part-vii.html), it's good for everybody.
