Actually, as of 06 the Sonata is now classified as a large car by the EPA. This "upsizing" seems to be a Hyundai strategy to provide something different.

And, yes, it's deliberate upsizing, and I fully support that. Now if only they'd come out with a convertable - but that's a completely different forum...
