Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Revealed with Solar Roof

That is, unfortunately, the best and only picture Hyundai provided.

At least they are trying to keep cars going and offer it as a Hybrid. Be interesting to see how many they sell between now and a year from now to compare to the sales numbers of cars that were selling.

Interesting, since it doesn't show a solar roof.

It makes it arguably the best looking hybrid family sedan on the market once it hits dealerships.

Found some better pics, including one of the solar roof. 

I wonder if ocnblu would like or loathe this. . . .

This is a good looking car and solar roof is cool.  I like it.

GM would benefit from these solar roof cars, so many of GM's overpriced strangely packaged cars sit on lots for 12-18 months if they plugged the cars solar panel's into the grid they could power the dealer's building lights and power i bet

Now that's thinking! Simply rig up 100 extension cords into the car's power system output port (somehow), snake them thru the front door/across the showroom floor, then back-feed it into the dealership's panel box (somehow).

When it's $550 for a grille emblem, $1550 for the front radar unit on a 2018 Sonata Hybrid, I am wondering how expensive this roof unit is.  There's gonna be a boatload of totaled Hyundais in a few short years with minor structural damage.

Plus I am sure I'll get to see them in our mechanic shop.  Not a matter of like or loathe, more of mild amusement.  And dismissal.
