New York Auto Show: 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

After releasing the first teaser on Friday, Hyundai revealed today the all-new 2011 Sonata Hybrid at the New York Auto Show.

The new car carries the Hyundai-developed Hybrid Blue Drive architecture which is a full parallel hybrid drive system.

The new system uses lithium polymer battery technology – leapfrogging competitive in-market nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion applications.

Hopefully, it's just the angle. I like how this car looks less generic than the non-hybrid model.

What is the Deal with Hyundai? They're at it again, anyone up here see Audi new signature headlights in the car above? The bright light that look like lining on the headlights?

I know all automakers copy each other design cube but this is to far.

Toyo-Lexus has known to want to be Mercedes so what's wrong with Hyundai wanting to be Toyota? There are only a handful of car designers in the world and only so many variations to go around.

Do you think they sell designs and rights to other designers? what do you think? that on it's own is a business.
