Having seen a picture or two of the new Sonata design, I think having only a 4 cylinder available will be the least of its problems. I think the car is butt ugly. I really enjoy the clean and crisp lines of my
2006 and they didn't muck it up too bad when they changed it in 09 (or whenever it was that they changed the grill, etc.). However, this new design looks like a Toyota Camry that was in an oven and melted a little. Yuck!What do others think of this styling? I haven't seen a good rear shot yet, just some partials of the tail light and one corner, but the rear looks as ugly as the front. I probably need another minivan, but Hyundai dropped theirs and the nearest Kia dealer is too far away. So, it looks like back to Chrysler for the third time unless I decide I can get by with a car. The design of this Sonata is making the Chevy Impala look more and more attractive. It is a sharp looking car (OK, this rear is somewhat ugly) and the reviews on performance of the new Chevy models has been quite good. Although, I find buying a car from the Feds to be a very distasteful proposition.
