<br />What you're gawking at appear to be the first undisguised images of Hyundai's forthcoming Sonata sedan caught by the folks at Hyundai Blog during what appears to be a photo shoot (check out the interior cutaway above), likely in its home market of Korea (check out the badging on the decklid).<br /><br />If only in looks and not in price, the 2011 Sonata appears to be making a concerted move for the premium end of the midsize swimming pool, what with its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/10/spy-shots-2011-hyundai-sonata-hybrid-caught-in-the-desert/">more rakish roofline</a> and expressive design. We've heard for some time that the Sonata was to gain a four-door coupe profile and more assertive fascias front and rear, and these dark, grainy photos cinch those details for us, although the car's aesthetics don't appear to be so radical as to be off-putting or even terribly divisive. Without looking too hard, we can see little bits of various competitors in the model's design, but overall the Sonata still manages to look quite fresh. <br /><br />We'll have to wait until we see the car in the metal for ourselves to pass judgment (or at least get a gander at a few higher-quality photographs - especially a dead-on profile), but thus far, we continued to be encouraged why what we see. Check out the not-so-high-res images in the small gallery below.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-shots/low/">2011 Hyundai Sonata spy shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/brightened-2011-sonata-pix-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/brightened-2011-sonata-pix-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/brightened-2011-sonata-pix-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/brightened-2011-sonata-pix-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.hyundai-blog.com/index.php/2009/08/21/new-hyundai-sonata-sedan-fully-undisguised/">Hyundai Blog</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/21/spy-shots-are-you-the-2011-hyundai-sonata/">Spy Shots: Are you the 2011 Hyundai Sonata?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:28:00 EST.
