2009 Hyundai Sonata Commercial from Korea

[Diehard GrandPrix Fan]

Most of you probably seen this already, but I don't see anyone have posted it, so I am going to now. It has been on Youtube for quite some time now so.... It wasn't uploaded by me but....

To me, it looks the same old, same old s*** that Hyundai has been making.

Just to translate, the last words that that is spoken in Korean saids "Evolution beyond change, Sonata, Transform". Lame line but oh well....

Aside from the uglier grill, larger projector headlamps, and the new interior, I don't think it looks much different, it won't be easy to tell the difference if we were to see the 09 on the street. Still, ugly as sh**, but enjoy the vid.

I heard that the Sonata will be all new in about 2 years, but I think this is the facelift before the new model comes in.(hopefully the new model isn't as derivated as their Genesis trash came out to be).

The interior design is a big step up from the old one...the front end not so much...I don't know if I think it's any better or not.

Is this a facelift for the US? That "before" interior isn't exactly US... I don't think you can get NAV here.

Good Question, I am not sure, but maybe, since Hyundais seems to add in Navs just recently, for US bound models, but most likely since the car in this commercial is for Korea it may be for Korea only, but we will probably get the car closer or better when it reaches US shores, since Hyundai and Kia usually ships the cars that are stronger in safety and better in sheetmetal and slightly of a higher quality than the version they sell in home. I see no difference by the way in terms of designs with the old car and the new one except the new, uglier grill, and a larger projector type headlamps.

Well, not a fan of Hyundai so....

Other than that, only interior looks improved (I do like the new interior from that brief glimpse)

The interior is a big step up, but I'm still blind as to why these things are popular. For the money, there are so many better cars.

Sorry, about that. No entertainment for you.
