Hyundai to offer new 2.4L GDI engine in next Sonata sedan

Hyundai is slowly introducing some good technology not typyically seen in their previous cars. They are stepping out of the box and offering technology and an affordable price. I can't hate on them for trying. A for effort and B+ for execution on their latest luxury cars the Equus and Genesis Sedan. We're years away from a respectable Hyundai but never say never because KIA and Hyundai are capturing market share without anyone noticing.

I am not a total fan of GDI, especially one that is as close to Mitsubishi-technology as Hyundai's undoubtedly is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Mitsubishi, in fact, I own one, but Mitsu's earlier GDIs were a disaster. Once bitten, twice shy. That said though, I would like to think that Mitsu should drop a light pressure turbo on it and get an extra 50hp or so to compensate for the lack of the extra 2 cylinders.

Notice that unlike the gasoline ones, this diesel model has dual mufflers.

No, I already own an Infiniti G37 Coupe and just bought the new Mercedes-Benz E220 CDi. No plans of buying another car until some years pass by. The only Hyundai owned by my family member is my brother's Genesis Coupe 380.

Oh, but I used to own a Hyundai Azera Limited when I studied in the U.S. a few years ago. Forgot about that... It was a nice quiet car.

Once upon a time I pondered buying a Tiburon... then I bought a Cougar instead.
