For a few years, the only full hybrid sedan sold in the U.S. was the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Then came the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which won North American Car of the Year and upped the ante considerably. Now Hyundai has raised the bar again. Its 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, available this fall, is more aerodynamic and runs faster in electric mode than the Ford or Toyota. It also has unique front styling, clearly different from run-of-the-mill Sonatas, a distinctive step that none of its competitors has taken. Better highway mileage Its projected fuel economy ratings are 37 mpg city, 39 mpg...

Right now, if you want a midsize sedan that's also a hybrid, you have exactly two choices: the 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid, or the new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. That's about to change. Six weeks hence, at the 2010 New York Auto Show, Hyundai will take the wraps off its 2011 Sonata Hybrid. The fuel-sipping four-door is the latest proof of the Korean maker's intent to go head-to-head with the struggling Toyota leviathan. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata itself was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show last December, at the same time that Hyundai announced that to improve its gas mileage, it would no longer...

Update: Green Cars at the 2010 Detroit Auto ShowNext month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit promises to be greener than ever before. That's a recognition that more fuel-efficient and smaller cars are a permanent part of the U.S. automotive landscape, but it's also desperation to fill space in a show that's losing exhibitors...

Hyundai: No More V6s For Midsize Cars or Compact CrossoversOne of the standouts among the global carmakers at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show was Hyundai.

Now, with its Los Angeles launch of the 2010 Tucson...
