Great job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. There tend to be not many people who can certainly write not so simple posts that artistically. Continue the nice writing.

Does anyone own the Sonata Hybrid? I just put a deposit down on one and should pick it up on Saturday. I drives great, is loaded out, has all the stuff, big and roomy, was registering over 40 MPG on the bar charts, as I cruised around town yesterday for about 2 hours… BUt it is the first year out…. I am worried I might end up with a headache…. Anyone?

This could easily be a Prius killer. It will have a GDI engine rather than conventional fuel injection giving better output and efficiency ratings. It will also use LG Chem's lithium polymer batteries rather than the NiMH batteries of the Prius. The Blue Will drivetrain is a much more elegant design than the complicated one of the Prius. Replacing the torque converter with an electric motor is a stroke of genius. Hyundai also will provide a 6 speed transmission of some sort, whether the automated dual clutch or their conventional automatic rather than a CVT.

The Sonata hybrid already beats the Camry hybrid on price, warranty, output and efficiency. Amazingly the Sonata 2.0T nearly matches the Camry hybrid's highway fuel mileage but with nearly 100 extra horsepower and far more torque.

A plug in hybrid would be very nice, but with all of the things going on at Hyundai, they can be forgiven for making us wait a little longer.

Toyota had better come up with a plug in Prius at the time the Hyundai Blue Will is released. With vastly superior engine, transmission and battery technology, the Prius will otherwise be totally outclassed. The Camry currently is, and not just by the Sonata. The Fusion hybrid also outdoes the Camry in output and efficiency. Like the Sonata, the Fusion also has a direct injection engine.

It is very likely Hyundai will put everything together before Toyota even masters direct injection technology. Perhaps Hyundai might give us a 1.2 liter twin scroll turbocharged GDI engine mated to a hybrid platform. That thing would eat the Prius for lunch. And Hyundai is completely capable of doing it. Toyota? Well, I'm not holding my breath even for a 6 speed automatic in their Yaris for the foreseeable future. Direct injection? They might do it in another decade.
