this looks pretty cool but somehow i doubt this is how the final product will look... sure there'll be similarities to this... these pics are photo chopped...look @ the first pics... different colors and the first pic you can see reflections of light on the hood... the second one you can't... also the car look like an SUV with those tires... there so high...i like this photochop... buit like i said i doubt this is the final product....

eCks... I know who did this. All they did was change colour, brightness, and put watermarks on it.
This is from Hyundai. Also, this is the final North-American product. I helped obtain these pics.
However, if you put it into Microsoft Word and use the brightening tool, you will see the bar grill with a Hyundai logo appear.
Either way, this is it folks.

hello, Celadona,  The bottom interior shot looks like a real insider photo. The exterior "shot" is a computer-generated picture. It's impossible to draw realistic-looking interior since the background also needs to be shown throught the window, so the glasses are blacked-out. |

Actually, it was sitting in an HMA warehouse. It is real and was photoshopped for privacy.
I know of who took the photos. Go to CarSpyShots and ask Naga and Santeno about it.

Better than I thought it might be(I did notice that the 2002 HCD7/Equus, chicago autoshow -this has a slightly similar body shape). No wood trim?

I love it! A bit more conventional, but a step in the right direction.

There are many skeptics who say this is not the real thing, on other sites, like CENSORED. We DID modify the photo, and I have the original, but without a CSS watermark posting it would be a bad, bad idea.
Atleast we know who it came from, and that we are staring at the new Sonata.
Unfortunately, there is no rear view.

Those other pics (the black one with the cover up) are accurate. See, it was worth the wait. For all those concerned, the reflections on the origianl picture are the lights in the bays at HMA in foutain Valley, CA. CENSORED, hope this puts salt in the wounds.

CENSORED, hope this puts salt in the wounds. megadethmartyrbull, I know for sure you don't work for any of the 5 Hyundai Automotive Group companies in the U.S.(can you name all of them?) Why are you pretending to be a Hyundai employee?? W h o a r e y o u?? What do you do for a living? Do you have a friend working at a hyundai dealer? |

I contacted the rear-view mirror, bumper, and the headlamp manufacturers. They all said it's a fake. ;D I'll tell you who they are on the NF press day |
