Hyundai Sonata SXi Concept
Hyundai has kitted out their new Hyundai Sonata NF for public viewing at the Australian Motor Show 2006, which gives us a preview of a possible future high performance Hyundai Sonata model. The Hyundai Sonata SXi Concept is powered by a V6 engine driving the front wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission.
Hyundai Australia put the concept together to gauge public response to the model, of which if favourable, could mean we could see a high performance Hyundai going on sale perhaps sometime in 2007.

Wow.. looks much better than our current Sonata. This new sonata doesn’t have ‘grandfather’s car look’.

clean
BUT a bit camry rear ,
still OUTDATED, because todays car got a almost higher waist line as it moves rearward, giving a small apature for rear window (camry for eg).
HYUNDAI…..try again

Oh my goodness, the rear looks very much like a clone of the Honda Accord.

This is lovely! I’m gonna buy this because I can’t afford an RS4 in our BolehLand…huhuhu…

Changed the grille area and slap in 4 sport rims and they call it Sports edition?
November 3, 2006 @ 10:46 am
Obviously it’s nothing remotely close to the RS4, but I suppose the Sonata SXi offers a more affordable thrill? Hehehe…

Looks very much like the pre-FL Accord.
A FWD car, this has gotta be a joke for a sports cars.

Ok, still an acceptable exterior, but Hyundai should have new idea for the rear, looks similar to Accord’s rear.

Is Hyundai a copycat or do so many of their designs coincidently resemble one car or another?
November 4, 2006 @ 12:09 pm
outdated design…..try again……refer to kia design dept, they got awsome ideas
November 5, 2006 @ 7:39 pm

November 9, 2006 @ 2:52 am
it does look like a compilation of past model of other car brands….I dont think Hyundai has invested in an R&D department yet =/

Umm… if you guys had read the article properly, it was never stated as a “Sports Edition”. It is just titled concept..
It was also not stated that its a sports car but just a preview of a possible high performance Hyundai.
Get your facts straight.
