You got all of the details about the 2009 Hyundai Sonata and its extra-large cupholders yesterday , but there is one more little detail that makes this tech-fiend particularly excited. The 2009 Sonata will feature XM's new and improved touchscreen graphic user interface. Forget about the car, that graphical interface is a beaut! It is full blown, high resolution, touchscreen goodness from XM that looks like it was finally designed by the consumers and for the consumers. It is easier to read, easier to operate and gives much more of an "entertainment" feel to XM radio. The merger can wait for all I care. This is too pretty to pass up. [ Orbitcast ]

Hyundai showed off a refreshed model in the 2009 Hyundai Sonata , a new model in the 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring and a far off concept in the iBlue Concept .The news from the Sonata is the addition of the first nav system and dual-zone climate control. The news for the Elantra Touring is that it does look Mazda3-ish up close with a touch of Toyota Matrix. We sat inside one and it's relatively roomy for the class with a design that would be considered friendly to most and sporty to those without a pulse. Press information and photos below. The big news with the i-Blue is, uh, that it exists? galleryPost('doane2009hyundaisonatareveal', 3, '2009 Hyundai Sonata');galleryPost('2009elantraatouring', 3, '2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring');galleryPost('iblueconcept', 3, 'HyundaiIBlueConcept'); FUEL-EFFICIENT 2009 Hyundai elantra touring arrives in UNITED STATES CHICAGO, February 6, 2008 - Hyundai Motor America took the wraps off its Elantra Touring...

We've already caught a Korean preview of the new Sonata as it rather slickly though liltingly transforms from the 2008 model to the 2009 version. But now we're gonna catch this revamped mid-size in the flesh, right here at the Chicago Auto Show . This isn't exactly the kind of ride you ooh and aah over, but given that Hyundai is making a serious effort to win over American hearts and minds this week, placing not one but two ad buys during the Super Bowl and pulling the trigger on its downscale-luxe Genesis, whatever adjustments (however minor) they're making to the packaging of their main player in the dog-eat-dog, kill-your-dad, eat-your-mother mid-size realm is notable. After all, the Genesis may build buzz and get folks into dealerships, but Hyundai still needs to move product in volume segments. The company says the '09 Sonata will hit dealership later this month. Details and the press release, après la jump. Camry killer? Accord assailant? Well, not yet, and maybe...
