Sonata sales are down after the introduction of the all new 2015 model? Compare that to 2011 when sales soared up to 21 percent! My how the tide has turned. Hyundai needs to Bring back Krafcik!
That’s what unattractive design does to ya. You take away one thing Sonata truly had it going over its competition – striking design, and now it’s just another boring sedan that needs large incentives to move it out of the lot.
