| New York 2010: Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Debuts With 274-HP, 34-MPG Highway Rating
Newyork autoshow debuted the all new 2011 2.0t Sonata 274hp with regular fuel. this can be a real hit, i am most likely consiering to trade my 07 sonata in to get one of these.. impressive numbers and to hyundai haters, hate as much as you want (cuz your gonna look like a fool)  Quote:
When Hyundai debuted the new 2011 Sonata in 4-cylinder trim, the company announced that it would not introduce a V6 model. The Korean automaker was still planning to go head-to-head with its V6-powered competitors, however, and today we found out exactly what with.
Just unveiled at the New York Auto Show, the new 2011 Sonata 2.0T is the first Hyundai to get turbocharging and direct-injection. As the name suggests, the engine is a small 2.0-liter 4-cylinder and when combined with a twin-scroll turbocharger and Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology it makes a class-leading 274-hp and gets 34-mpg on the highway. City fuel economy is set at 22-mpg. As for the turbocharged engine’s torque number, it is equally impressive, rated at 269 ft-lbs from just 1800 rpm to 4500 rpm. Better yet, it does all this on regular fuel.
Helping to deliver both impressive fuel economy and performance is Hyundai’s new six-speed automatic transmission, with Hyundai’s Shiftronic manual shifting. Plus, all 2.0T models come with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Added advantages to this setup include a lighter overall chassis. Not only does the turbocharged 4-cylinder weigh less than a V6 engine, but because Hyundai never had to design the car’s frame to carry a heavier V6 motor, the basic platform weighs less. And a lighter overall curb weight results in improved fuel economy and acceleration, not to mention handling and braking. Hyundai lists the new Sonata 2.0T at 3,338 lbs, making it the lightest of its competitors. In fact, with a weight to power ratio of 12.2 lbs per hp, the Sonata 2.0T has a better setup than the new Camaro V6.
Pricing for the 2.0T model has yet to be released but we expect it to be competitive with, if not undercut, current V6 offerings from the main competitors.

if they shove this engine into the Gen Coupe then they'll have to introduce the Gen Coupe V8 to push the whole line upwards.
simple.

the front desperately needs a lip kit to bring the lowest part of the front end in line with the bumper.

Looks like Hyundai half-melted a Passat CC with a Jaguar XF to come up with this monstrosity. And really, Hyundai, quad exhausts? Is that one pipe for each firing cylinder?
