That is all I see when I look at the grille. |

Toyota's interior is ugly as sin. The slight performance gain is certainly not worth having to stare for years at one of the ugliest, most mundane interior out there. Hyundai wins in that respect.

Where did I say anything about interiors? I said that the Sonata turbo doesn't perform where you'd expect given the "official" numbers. Motor Trend simply used the Camry Hybrid as a comparison in performance.

I also got 33.4mpg (EPA is 34mpg) highway and that was with it loaded up with the family and driving driving at 80mph with a few jaunts to 100. I am also notoriously a mileage killer with my driving so I was surprised Edit to add: Car and Driver got 0-60 in 6.5 and 1/4 mile at 14.9 @ 97mph. That is not exactly slow for a big sedan that is not meant to be all that sporty Last edited by Mopho; 01-11-2012 at 01:44 PM. |

I like it. Not surprising on the mpg, since 2.4L Sonata is rated 35mpg on a highway.
Hate that "turbo" on the seats though. |

Turbocharged seats! If you fart it's like nitrous.

saw this car on the road the other day, the styling definitely makes you do a double take ... however for a 3 car hatchback, I was a bit surprised as how large the car looks in person

V6 Camry was about $4k more expensive than 2.0T in that comparison test. TDI was about $8k more expensive than 2.0T.

We don't know how differently the cars were equipped. MT didn't say if they were equally equipped. Navigation, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and such can swing the prices quite a bit. The Passat was a 3.6L V6 gasser. Again, I was just commenting on performance relative to the numbers.

That color is amazing!
I really hope that's a flat black. Finally a company offers flat black! It's about time! |

not so much a fan of the car, but that matte metallic grey is ridiculously HOT
