I think it's suppose to be a 3.3 and not a 3.8, the 3.8 is suppose to be on the XG I think. The HP sounds right and the torque might be higher than the HP.

I've beek poking around a bit regarding this car, and the best info I have indicates that the US market will continue to get the current Sonata for '05, and the new one will debut (from the new Alabama plant) as an early '06 in 3/05. I could be wrong about that, though.   -Andrew L

#5 of 7816 Looks like an Audi by lexi4life Aug 02, 2004 (12:08 pm)
Am I wrong or the exterior looks like an Audi A6? So anyway, can someone tell without being wrong when this car will hit the showrooms?
#6 of 7816 by pzev Aug 03, 2004 (4:53 am)
Those first 5 pictures aren't of the Sonata, it's supposedly the new XG.   lexi4life, I think a_l_hubcaps is correct, a few articles have stated that March is when the Sonata will begin production in Alabama. Also one said that V6 versions will initially come from Korea where as the 4-cyl versions will come from Alabama. The Sonata is suppose to be revealed this month in Korea, but if not it will definetly be at the Paris show in September. When production will begin in Korea I'm not sure.   Trial production at Alabama has already begun.   http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/specialreports/hyundai/storyV- 5HPLANTMAIN01W.htm   And here is an article with some interesting tidbits.   http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/NEWSV5/storyV5HINNOVATION01W.- htm   "Vehicle engines will be built on site and will meet the vehicle in general assembly, where workers on the production line will add parts, such as tires or electrical components, to each vehicle."   Somehow I thought the 4-cyl engines will come from Michigan where Chrysler will get their's from but I guess not.   "As part of the painting process, an electrically charged coating will be applied to each car to prevent corrosion. To eliminate air pockets and ensure 100 percent coverage, the shop will use a state-of-the-art process in which each car will be turned 360 degrees as the coating is applied."   And here is an old article.   http://www.detnews.com/2004/specialreport/0402/22/a15-70494.htm   "Parts suppliers will build whole sections of the vehicles off site, reducing in-house workloads and labor costs."   The major stuff will be done on-site but some stuff as stated will be done by parts suppliers off-site.

Whatever car that is (Sonata or XG), it looks more to me like an Accord (from the rear, especially) than anything else.   ~alpha

#10 of 7816 New Sonata is a heavy car by pzev Aug 26, 2004 (12:41 pm)
2.0 MT = 1443 kg or 3181 pounds   2.0 AT = 1450 kg or 3196 pounds   2.4 AT = 1496 kg or 3298 pounds   And we aren't even talking about the 3.3 V6 version yet. Hopefully that 2.4 version has a sunroof and a ton of standard equipment.   This is basically on par with a TSX though so I have to think the 2.4 has power seats, a sunroof, stability control, 17" wheels, etc. to make it weigh so much.   Anybody know the standard equipment on the 2.4 version? Also anyone know what the turning circle is?
