The Sonata Screwing
Purchased My 2009 Sonata new in August 2009. 2010 Sonatas weren't at the dealership. Now the Sonata 2011 is out. Let me see. In 6 Mths, I now own a 2 Yr old vehicle with 2000 miles on it. The only positive thing is that the 2009 has a V6. Shame on Hyundai for devalueing their products in such an abrupt fashion.

Pay attention to advertising & auto news. Hyundai was up front about the release dates of the 2009, 2010 & 2011 Sonatas. Pictures of the 2011 Sonata have been out for months.

I actually went in to look at the 2011 Sonata after having test driving the 2010 Impreza. I didn't even test drive the 2011 Sonata, although it is a beautiful car! I went right to the 2010 Sonata Limited with the four cylinder. I am more interested in getting a good deal than having the latest. I got the $2500 off from Hyundai and $2000 from the dealer. So $4500 off a 2010 compared to no incentive on the 2011 is a no brainer for me.
BTW, the only 2011's they had were four cylinders. No V6's yet. But wow! am I getting great mileage! Much better than my 2003 Sonata V6. Driving back and forth to work which is a mixture of freeway and street level driving, I am getting an average 29.5 mpg. Now, I can use that too. OK, my new car is last year's model, but I am loving it! |

The new Tucson is also 4-cylinder only as well. But the 2.4L Theta makes more power than the old 2.7L Delta V6 while getting better fuel economy than the old 2.0L Beta 4-cylinder. |

There will be no V6 model. There's rumor of a turbo 4-cylinder version soon but Hyundai is going towards fuel economy instead of power.
