It just came out, and I predict it will be a big sales hit for Hyundai, if not achieve Accord/Camry-like sales volumes.
Camry looks blah....
Accord looks like puke....
Sonata actually looks good.
Man, we are living in an alternate universe.

I don't get what the fuss about the styling on the new Sonata is. It looks pretty disgusting to me. It looks like a Sebring/Volkswagen CC combined. Grossss. The Accord Coupe (A lil bulky), Mazda 6, and Camry all look better to me.

I agree. I have had my Fit for 2 years and 12,000 miles and i still average 27mpg. Still waiting for my magical "40" mpg number.
I drove down to Houston in our 2008 Civic yesterday to pick up my wife and kids at the airport (just crossed the 40K mile mark recently). It took 50.5 miles for the first mark (of twenty) on the fuel gauge to disappear, which was a personal record for me.
I ran for 215 miles and had seven of twenty fuel gauge marks gone on the digital fuel gauge. That equates to about 615 miles on a 14 gallon tank, or 43.9 mpg, all highway. That's about 1.2 mpg better than my last trip down there (rainier weather with a little more hard driving to avoid standing water). It all comes down to how you drive, I guess....

Sounds like you've broken something, then. I've gotten 27 mpg in a Grand Marquis doing that kind of speed...
