It looks nothing like a Mazda 6. If you feel otherwise feel free to pick some similar angles and prove otherwise. Unless you consider having four doors, a trunk and four wheels a copy, you couldn't be any more wrong.

I'm a big fan of the new Mazda 6 (the previous gen not so much) but I'm not blind.

Talking with my neighbor who just bought a 2014 Mazda 6 and is already regretting it.

Gas mileage is well under EPA estimates and he had it back to the dealer twice with problems.

He said he should have bought the Sonata he was looking at.

Test Drive: 2015 Hyundai Sonata a champ

"Honda Accord fans, a loyal bunch, will scream. VW Passat drivers will scoff at the thought anything else could be as crisp. Ford Fusion owners will say nothing looks as cool as their Euro-inspired Fords. Toyota Camry types will shrug."

Meh, the '15 Sonata is pretty ho-hum. The interior looks like something you would have seen in a luxury car 10 years ago. It looks hard and angular with all emotion removed. The exterior is less stylish than the current generation. I read an article a couple years ago that Hyundai's home market reacted negatively to the 2011 Sonata's more aggressive styling, so now Hyundai management has forced the new generation to go conservative. I don't know that it will do any favors for Sonata sales in the US, since the 2011's styling led to a sales jump that year.

What's the reliability like on the Sonata's? Hyundai has made a huge push into the market in the last few years but I haven't heard much about reliability.

The 2011's had a few glitches with stuff like brake pedal switches, range sensor switches, etc... but Hyundai resolved most of those by the 2012 model year. A/C compressor failures seem common, although mine has been fine so far.

There have been some reports of #2 rod bearing failure in the engine, but it seems sporadic and not widespread. I'm sure it's resolved by now since engine replacements cost Hyundai a lot of money.
