(Click Image to Enlarge)Not to mention full-size truck, meat and potatoes of the U.S. car market remains sedan mid-size family. Over the past two decades, the undisputed king of this particular segment was the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, especially as the Ford Taurus has fallen on the right pedestal, circa 1992. Many have tried to kill the two heavyweights of Japan (literally and figuratively) off the hill - and almost all have failed. And while the two titans were at the top of the charts, other family sedans have enjoyed considerable success. Perhaps most importantly, the Hyundai Sonata, a car without pretension, which has found its way into 1.2 million homes.
(Click Image to Enlarge)With a bright smile and be named the new Hyundai fuel efficient brand in America, brass Hyundai has introduced its new-for-2011 Sonota. What strikes immediately is the Sonata curves, a little 'hoarse, almost organic shape. Hyundai calls the language of design "Fluid Sculpture", and while not as in-your-face, such as the signature style of language Mazda Nagare, we think that could be almost as polarization. This does not mean that the new Sonata is bad or ugly. But it is highly stylized in a medium-sized market that tends to reward the bland and the Middle-of-the-road

An elegant compromise margin roofline and volume to the typical decoration, but at 120.2 cubic feet, the Sonata is the internal volume of its main competitors. It is so spacious, Sonata continues to be classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a big car, a real class "above" Camry, Altima, Fusion and Malibu (all are classified as medium-sized cars). Even in trunk room, the Sonata shines. Sonata 16.4 cu. ft. of trunk space offers an advantage of 9.3 percent Camry, and a gap of 17.1 per cent agreement.

(If equipped with six-speed manual, the Sonata is about 23 mpg city/34 mpg highway fuel consumption rating of fuel.) According to preliminary assessments of the power and torque for GDI Theta II 198 horsepower and 184 Nm of couple. In south-base, which includes an exhaust double standard, the engine develops 200 horsepower. This high-tech all-aluminum 16-valve features continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) on both camshafts and a Variable Intake System (VIS) for better engine breathing. A version of this engine also meets Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) standard.

Tolerances of light industry from a solenoid for the next few days, often causes the fluctuation of hydraulic pressure and affect the accuracy and quality of work shift. The show featured the Sonata skillfully integrates the screws into the valves for each of the eight valves to be calibrated at the factory. This feature ensures stability of the hydraulic pressure at any point of passage that allows a high degree of precision and control necessary to provide fast movements smooth and precise for the entire range of revolutions
