Just a concept for now…

  1. You can get a 2006 model on carsdirect.com for $15,426 and thats a good deal considering i was thinking about buying a fit or a elantra, even the stripper sonota is loaded with all the options ya need, if ya can live with a 4 banger and 5 speed. then spend a couple grand on the rims and ground effects to make it look like this and its a good deal !

  2. booo…..who needs a sonata with flash wheels in australia when for the same price i could pick up a second hand /demonstrator Xr6 trubo or SS commodore with around 250kw’s of power!!!

    Warranty + fuel mileage needs? Does the warranty transfer to the 2nd owner if sold by a private party and then there’s always the question of how much the car has been beat on.

    Would you buy a WRX STi owned by some kid wearing his hat on sideways? It has low mileage and the clutch has only been replaced once.

    No thanks, I’ll pass.

  4. Lexus-looking front end and pimp car wheels do not a wonderful car make.

    Best to buy the top-of-the-line Sonata and leave it alone.

    Silly trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, as the old saying goes.

  5. “That’s a concept for nwo”

    What a joke! why is it a concept when we’ve already seen it as an Accord wannabe with an IS300 grill(last model of IS I meant).

  6. Nice… Too bad it is wrong wheel drive. Dont like 226 lb-ft feel thru the steering wheel trying to pull me into the curb.

  7. Cool concept, this will add more options on my rental car choice!

    Seriously, I’ve driven the Sonata V6 so many times, it’s nothing special.
    Sure it’s cheaper than its competitors, but it’s also the worst in term of power, MPG and refinements.

  8. This car is newsworthy why? 1987 BBS rims (fake of course,) a trunk lip and a trip to pep boys with fifty bucks in-hand could accomplish this. This “concept” is not such a concept.

  9. To Anon above:
    Dude, whatever. If you like you can join the stupid club.

    HYUNDAI=Lack of originality.

    You can believe what you see…good for you.

  10. Wow, 80s retro wheels and red brake calipers… what a wild concept. Except that it is only a Hyundai. So even though it looks like an Accord (better actually) we can expect that a three year old Sonata will sound as refined as marbles in a coffee can.

    Please take no offense, but maybe it’s you who’s stuck in the 80’s. Hyundais today are decent, reliable, and well-made cars.

    And I drive a Honda.

    That’s what I’m hearing. But having experienced Hyundai “quality” first hand, I’ll let others be the test monkeys for this brands third-world design and manufacturing. They look nice, but these cars are not cheap enough to be disposable anymore

  13. OK, you Honda/Toyota(Big 2.5) Geniuses(LOL)…. Also, Kia and Hyundai won Editors Most Wanted for the Rio/Accent, and the Azera won the Sedan 30K*under…263HP, and FWD and LOTS of torque…(go to Edmunds and READ, if you cro-magnon men can).WHEN YOU ALL GET PAID FOR YOUR OPINIONS, LIKE THEY DO ON MOTORWEEK(ON TV 26 YEARS, PROBABLY MORE THAN SOME OF YOU HAVE LIVED, FROM THE CHILDISH COMMENTS),ETC, THEN I’LL TAKE YOU OPINIONS(ALL THEY ARE, AND THEY ARE FULL OF ****) SERIOUSLY.

Who would I believe in a debate? Probably the person providing information and links, versus name calling.Oh, on Motorweek, they Show you the cars doing the shalom(SP?) testing, braking, 0-60 times, handinling aroudn curves, etc…so, I personally tend ot believe what I can see, also.
