Replying to: joe97 (Dec 13, 2006 8:36 pm) Folding mirrors It's about time. I thought the 07s would have them considering the 07 Elantras do. Replies to this message: backy (Dec 14, 2006 7:36 am) joe97 (Dec 14, 2006 3:42 pm) mike91326 (Dec 14, 2006 4:19 pm) fushigi (Dec 24, 2006 5:03 am)

Replying to: xj220 (Dec 13, 2006 9:13 pm) Note also the side marker lights. So these could be Sonatas made in the ROK, and may have features such as folding mirrors that Sonatas made in the U.S. do not have.

Replying to: backy (Dec 14, 2006 7:36 am) Backy, I thought the Sonata in the home market has the folding mirrors and side market lights features already. I've been told these features should make their way to the NA market. More: Sources close to Hyundai has the facelift to include changes such as a six-speed, new dash, and others. I am sure more will pop up as we get close to the 08 Sonata, should appear in most markets by late 2007 Replies to this message: mike91326 (Dec 14, 2006 4:19 pm) fushigi (Dec 24, 2006 5:03 am)

Replying to: joe97 (Dec 14, 2006 3:42 pm) With Honda bring out their diesel Accord next year I hope Hyundai drops their turbodiesel in the Sonata. I have a feeling that the diesel Accord is going to sell very well.

Replying to: joe97 (Dec 14, 2006 3:42 pm) 6-speed is great news. Hopefully highway mileage will trickle up a couple of MPG. If they add NAV for the US then I'll likely buy. My 99 Galant has 124K and counting and while it's trouble-free, I am beginning to tire of it and would like something a little nicer and with a larger interior.

Replying to: joe97 (Dec 13, 2006 8:36 pm) Here is another picture from Hyundai Exchange, of an interior Hyundai is probably considering for the 08. The center stack is much smoother, and dark trim creates a contrast. Also, the seats are a similar color to the dash topper. Note the doors have been reworked to too. Hopefully, they won't mess up the exterior like they did on the '97 Sonata restyle. http://www.hyundaiexchange.com/forum/files/special11261747810tv_141.jpg Replies to this message: cableguy06 (Dec 26, 2006 5:35 pm) ray_h1 (Dec 27, 2006 2:49 pm) cableguy06 (Dec 27, 2006 4:36 pm) pekelopd (Dec 27, 2006 5:41 pm) and 13 more... joe97 (Dec 27, 2006 7:35 pm) cableguy06 (Dec 28, 2006 5:44 am) joe97 (Dec 28, 2006 6:45 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: mossman11 (Dec 26, 2006 4:58 pm) I like that they moved the center vents to the top of the dash versus below the radio. The center console looks much cleaner...I hope this is what we have in store.

Replying to: cableguy06 (Dec 26, 2006 5:35 pm) Yep - all you 2006-2007 Sonata owners just lost an extra grand in resale value over what it otherwise would've been when the new interior hits the dealer lots next December. Just kidding. (no I'm not...)

Replying to: ray_h1 (Dec 27, 2006 2:49 pm) That's ok...in 2.5 more years, I'll have over 100K miles on this 07 and will be looking for a new set of wheels. I am really interested in the new V8 RWD model coming out next year and will be interested to see what they do to the 2008 Azera. I also just read in my recent version of Truck Trend that next fall Hyundai will be introducing a Chevy Tahoe sized SUV...that will be interesting to see and it's supposed to have a V8 option to compete with the Nissan Armada too! Times are changing and it's getting exciting for Hyundai
