Consumer Reports Checks In With Accolades On Long Term Sonata

Interest in the Hyundai Sonata has shot up considerably with the car's 2011 redesign, fueled in part by a barrage of press coverage and television advertisements. The attention surrounds a dramatic update of a respectable family sedan, adding dramatic style and abundant upscale features.

The interest has translated to a notable sales boost, with Hyundai moving 53 percent more Sonatas in March 2010 than in March 2009. (The general increase in sales in the industry doesn't hurt, either.)
