I'm sorry but that looks hideous. That huge gaping front end makes it look like a fish. As for the rear, what did they do to the tail lights? They look like some cheap aftermarket lights that teenagers put on their Civics. The standard Sonata has better tail lights than this thing.
Also with regards to this which was stated by the author:
"The 2011 Sonata Hybrid sedan, Hyundai’s first hybrid car, has addressed many of these driveability issues, and though it’s certainly not yet a sport sedan, it has made improvements without compromising the excellent fuel economy people expect from hybrids"
Sorry, but the only people that seem to have "drivability issues" with modern hybrids are mostly auto journalists. Modern hybrids like the Camry hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, Lexus hybrids, Fusion hybrid and Prius all drive fine for the average consumer.
