2011 Sonata at the dealer
I passed by my dealer today and they have a 2011 Sonata on the lot.
Below is a summary of the styling: WOW |

It looked pretty fly. They steal away some designers from Mercedes-Benz? Jon |

I strongly dislike the Chrysler with short windows, the new Lacrosse is similar. I've not sat in any of them yet. |

I have heard that also, but I have seen no credible data to support that assertion. I think it is simply a styling trend and the safety claim is urban legend. I bet the loss of visibility is more of a safety hazard than are lower beltlines. I bet we see this trend reverse in a few years as people wise up. Matt |

If I want something with a chop-top I'll stick to a '51 Mercury or the like. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eric.blair@activist.com Questions about how to answer the 2010 census?

I had a 02 Elantra and just last Tuesday bought the new 2011 Sonata. Can't believe it's the same company that makes both cars. Absolutely a fantastic car, especially for the money. There isn't a lot on the dealers floors yet but I'll bet the demand will be out of this world once the public realizes what this model really is. I've seen 3 road tests on this new 2011 Sonata and they all compare it to the new lexus---and they are RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andy H |

That was a concern by a few people as then seem smaller, but I've not seen one up close yet. |
