Hyundai is releasing a "Sonata wagon" called the I40 in Europe. At this time I don't think there are plans to bring the I40 here. I would encourage everyone looking for an "upgraded" Touring to contact Hyundai & tell them to bring the I40 to the US.
 
There are plenty of pictures out on the web of the I40. I have owned two Elantra hatchbacks (a 2001 with auto and 2007 with manual ) and I currently own a 2007 Sonata. I love hatch backs but I traded the 2007 Elantra hatch for the 2007 Sonata because I needed a bigger car.
 
After driving the Sonata I felt the "perfect" car for me would be a slightly smaller Sonata hatchback that had a firmer ride. Based on what I have read about the I40:
-It will have a ton of room.
-It should get at least 30+ on the highway depending on what engine they put in it. In Europe Hyundai will offer several engine options including a diesel.
-It should have a "bigger car" ride than my old Elantra hatch.
 
If you like wagons or hatches check out the I40 on the web & let Hyundai know you they should sell it in the US.

I saw it reported in the paper yesterday. Really great news for small-car fans--several others made the Top Safety Pick list too. The Elantra has come a long way since it regularly got "Poor" ratings on some of the IIHS tests i.e. side impact. I am glad to see Hyundai stepping up its game in crash protection on even its small cars.

I don't want my car locking and unlocking on its own. It's just one more thing to malfunction in the future (and it will), and I can certainly press a button to lock and unlock myself. I think the cars are getting carried away with gizmos and gadgets. I want a car that is solid, reasonable cost, rides smoothly, low cabin noise, reliable, good appearance, nice upholstery and interior, and gets decent gas mileage. With all the new gizmos, I get a picture in my mind of me driving down the road with doors locking and unlocking, windshield wipers wiping on their own (or stopping on their own), a/c turning on and off on its own, and a host of other things altering on the car as I drive along, with me not being able to do much about it all. All of that seems irritating to me. I'd rather be in control of all those things.

I didn't take it as a lot of ranting and raving. He was just expressing his opinion on what he looks for in a car that their getting carried away with gadgets. I can totally relate to what he is saying. I had the same problem with my 2007 Civic when I brought it home it had the automatic locks and I felt trapped. The nice thing Honda tells you in the owners manual how to disable it without taking it back to the dealer.

Why don't you just hit the "caps lock" key off before you post then? It's really easy. Looks like you're shouting at everyone.

If anyone that cannot find a spare wheel and full size tire lives in the ocala florida area, TEE PEE TIRE ON PINE AVE. will set you up with a wheel and full size tire for under 100 bucks. You will have to cut the foam piece down to fit inside the spare and the spare fits in the well perfect.
