Replying to: rv65 (Jan 19, 2008 5:17 pm) Any word on when Hyundai will make a diesel engine available for the Sonata or any other of its vehicles here in the U.S.? I can't wait to go biodiesel and tell OPEC to go drink its oil! Replies to this message: rv65 (Jan 20, 2008 9:22 pm)

Replying to: rdillier (Jan 20, 2008 3:42 pm) Maybe not this generation. Maybe in Model Year 2011. Veracruz might get it 2010. Who knows. Hyundai is workig on getting the v6 diesel for the veracruz for the USA market. The veracruz diesel makes 237 Hp and over 300 lbs-ft of torque. i4 diesel might be in the works as well. Hope this helps.
#9 of 1006 C/D review by backy Jan 26, 2008 (1:56 pm)
Car & Driver compares the 2009 Sonata Limited to the Accord EX, Altima 2.5S, Malibu LT, Camry LE, Fusion SEL, and Avenger SXT (all I4s) in their March issue. Has good info and some photos, including a clear shot of the new (and very good looking IMO) interior and the new nose.   P.S. In the comparo, the Sonata slotted in between the Malibu and the Camry in the order listed above--Accord first. But the review was overall very positive towards the Sonata, except for a desire for less body roll and a stiffer platform (ala Accord or Altima).

Replying to: howard18 (Jan 30, 2008 8:53 pm) Supposedly it's going to be released after the chicago auto show. Pricing has been announced. LG voice activated Navigation will be an option on the limited. Bluetooth won't be avaliable at launch. USB/Aux input will be avaliable. The limited model only has navigation as an option.

Replying to: rv65 (Jan 30, 2008 10:44 pm) Is factory installed bluetooth coming at all and will the 4 cylinder get a 5-speed automatic or keep the 4-speed? I have seen conflicting claims about 5-speed and 4-speed automatic for the 4 cylinder models. Bluetooth is much less expensive than navigation, so I'm surprised they would delay bluetooth rather than delay the nav instead. Replies to this message: backy (Feb 02, 2008 10:27 am)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Feb 02, 2008 10:21 am) C/D confirmed in its 2009 Sonata Limited I4 road test (March issue) that the automatic is a 5-speed. No mention of Bluetooth in that review, and the test car didn't have nav but the article stated I think that nav was the only option (moonroof is standard on the Limited for 2009).

Replying to: rv65 (Feb 03, 2008 4:27 pm) Looks nice except for the new headlights. It has USB and nav, so I can't believe it still doesn't have factory installed bluetooth even on the top models. More people will use bluetooth than USB and most people will pass on nav if it's $2000. Replies to this message: rv65 (Feb 03, 2008 8:07 pm)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Feb 03, 2008 4:43 pm) Navi is less than that. Rumored to be in the 1,250 to 1,750 range with the latter being more likely. Supposedly they have made it 1,250. Thats cheap for navi. I still would like to see bluetooth. I'm sure they will offer a simple blueconnect system that doesn't integrate with the radio. I'm sure quickconnect will offer a harness for the parrot kit.
