Yung VP for marketing ng Dasma ngayon, Luis Penson, naka Sonata GLS. Color black. hehehe..

Dapat Premium yung sa kanya, pero since everyday car lang, GLS nalang daw.

Pero kakabitan ng blings! :clap:

Bakit naman magagalit ang HARI sa kanila? Hyundai Pampanga nga member ng Laus Group.

Correction lang po. Hindi member ng Laus Group ang Hyundai Pampanga.

Question lang po. ano pinag kaiba ng sonata na local at yun US version sa 2.4 theta na makina?

sa litrature dito 178hp. sila sa US 198hp at 200hp. the extra 2hp daw is beacause of a dual exhaust version.

GDI ang engines ng Sonata sa U.S while dito hindi.

The US version have 3 trim levels:
1. GLS - base model
2. SE - Sports Edition. This is the version with paddle shifters and dual exhaust pipes
3. Limited - top of the line model but no paddle shifters and dual exhaust pipes

GLS and Limited have 198hp while the SE runs at 200hp. All trims levels have the same displacement and GDI engine.

Hope this helps.

Not really. Most Sonata taxis in Seoul are silver. Pero eye catcher talaga yung orange. Sakit sa mata. Limousine taxis (yung pang hotel) are usually black.

The most numerous (parang Toyota Corolla/Altis/Vios) taxi there is the Sonata.

Nice Job henrich Sir!

Gusto ko sana mag pa paint ng gun metallic sa stock mags ko pero... nasa malayong province ako

[babkalakal]

ok thanks for the reply.

bakit kaya di nila dinala yung GDI dito?
sayang din yun 20+hp at dual exhausts.
Fuel compatibility or masyadong mahal na kaya lalabas?

Abad Santos has a color black showroom unit that is not sold up to this day. Its probably been there over a month already.

Fuel compatibility ang problem, bro.

Same here in Hyundai Pampanga, they also have a black Sonata Premium on display for almost a month now, I even asked my agent how come it's not yet being sold she told me maybe customers want the black contrast of the sun roof that's why all the other customers' orders are only Silver Metallic and Crystal White.

YF: The rebirth of the Hyundai Sonata

Pero grabe astig talaga itong kotse na ito. Parang skulptura talaga sya eh :D

Still:
Sana na dalhin nila yung 2.0 Turbo version dito sa Pinas (para may panlaban sila sa Camry Q at Accord V6). Yun nga lang, since direct injection sya, baka di sya dumating dito kasi baka may compatibility problems.

Grrr, ba't kasi ang dumi ng fuel quality dito sa Pinas

Sigh

Anyways
I've sat in this model twice (isang base model at isang Premium sa PIMS Motor Show). Both have paddle shifters pala tapos all-black interior. Angas nga.

Yun nga lang:
The only downside is (sa versions na meron sa atin):
Hindi Dual-Zone yung aircon nito (meaning yung thermostat nito is for all; wala sya individual adjust for driver and front passenger respectively).

Sayang din kasi other competitors like base model ng Camry at Accord ay meron nito. Yung Galant meron din ata.

Heck, may dual-zone A/C ang Ford Focus lolz :P

So yeah, I was expecting it to be standard (though baka meron ito sa 2.0 T version...............if they ever bring it here)

Other than that downside, everything else is tip-top shape. Marami safety features at saka good audio system (may AUX at Ipod outputs pa).

Parang Korean Mazda 6

O baka ayaw nila magmukhang corrupt politician
