Ditto. I never liked the previous style, if I'm honest. Sales of the new one have been strong, but the segment is dying. Buyers are shifting to CUVs.
Lady Noto's uncle is very frugal. He owned an Accord forever, until someone walking on his street gave him a cold offer of $5,000 cash for his then-14 year old car. Uncle replaced the Accord with a Sonata (2011, IIRC), and absolutely loves it.
His wife's 2003 Corolla was getting a bit long in the tooth for her, so he wanted her to get a new Sonata. He drove it and hated it. It's just an odd move - nobody asked for the Sonata to be more grown up, or elegant. The first adopters of the "fluidic" whatever loved the edginess. He now says that he'd rather go for a Camry because it's "sportier looking".
Never thought I'd hear that one.
Saw the new Tucson at the Kelowna airport this morning in the departures area. It looks incredible, but the tiny window glass is an instant "no" for me. I could barely see out of the thing.
