the new azera is sick and the same for the sonata. i cant wait to see this new tiburon. if it has any of the same exterior styling cues then its going to be an awesome looking car. hopefully it will have good performance.
I'd hold my tongue on that "awesome brand" business. Sure you can get the 10 year/100,000mile warranty, but half the time your car is in the shop. The other half of my shop is Hyundai/Suzuki...and only one thing sucks more than a Hyundai, and that's a Suzuki. I've seen some things. Interiors fall apart by 40k, electronics have serious problems from around 15k. The new Hyundai's are coming with electric steering, no rack and pinion, A potentiometer and electric motor...kinda scary knowing it was wired in Korea...hopefully it doesn't kill too many people when they cut out going 80mph. But whatever...every company has lemons, Hyundai just produces, assembles, and advertises them. I'd rather an ugly reliable car, then a shitty running car that looks like a lexus wannabe.
