Nothing new and very much similar as camry. Quite dissappointed with Hyundai which allow thic Copy Cat product to be marketed. Now being influence by China, the front look very same with the BYD new F6 if not mistaken. Saw this Hyundai sonata many time and long time ago at Genting. Nothing new and very much similar as camry.
