NEW (YORK) METAL

The New York Auto Show played host to some new metal, and some rather unspectacular old-pretending-to-be-new metal.

FLUIDIC SONATA 2.0


Hyundai's turning this into a bit of a habit now, isn't it? Getting out rather neat looking cars, that is. Its new North American CEO Dave Zuckowski pulled the wraps off this elegant looking new Sonata.

The Fluidic Sculpture design is now in version 2.0. This, Hyundai claims gives it a more dignified, respectable and confident look. There are now harder angles, straighter edges, a bigger grille, redesigned headlights and quad chrome-tipped exhausts. On the inside is a redesigned and bigger interior and now there's slightly more power from the 2.4 litre four cylinder and 2.0 litre turbo-four which makes driveability in low-rpm situations better. And, as is to be expected, there are more safety features and tech to fiddle with.
