Hyundai teases us with Sonata YF spys shots and i30 facelift rendering

Christmas comes early this year and Santa gives us some presents in the shape of Hyundai teaser shots under our virtual Christmas tree!

What we got in our e-mail inbox this morning are the latest spy shots providing a glimpse preview of the 2010 Hyundai Sonata YF, Hyundai Tucson LM and i30 facelift. Images of Sonata have been taken at Hyundais R&D center in Namyang, Korea and they reveal a heavily camouflaged Sonata sedan during the process of tooling and calibrating.

In addition, we also got the first image of the 2011 Hyundai i30 hatchback, while the third image previews the 2010 Tucson, snapped while running down the highway. The Tucson LM is expected to make its official worldwide debut at Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2009, while i30 hatchback is believed to receive a major front and rear fascia makeovers in about two years from now.

One more thing, the i30 will not only get a facelift, but also a high-performance variant with turbo engine hidden under the bonnet. Rumours suggest that i30 could get the 2,0L turbo engine from Genesis Coupe or the all-new 1,6L turbo engine with 180hp that Hyundai just recently developed. [Source: KBS]

[Rubix]

[snowcherry]

hmmm no i've actually seen this 

probably when i was trying to find info on a 'new' i30 before buying

[Lakes]

Hard to really tell what it looks like from that drawing.
on another note, has anyone noticed how the new Mazda 3 looks a lot like a Pug from the front?
the only thing i don't like about the Mazda 3 is they are thirsty, guy over the road has the new mazda 6 2.5 & uses as much fuel as his ex comany car V6 comodore on a trip to QLD. but he drives fast still you can't really speed going up that way

It's got the "new family" grill !
