subject: 2011 Hyundai Sonata rewarded for incredible quality with President's Award [print this page] Hyundai Sonata has done it again! AutoPacific has presented the 2011 Hyundai Sonata with the first-ever President's Award to recognize its excellent and unparalleled performance in a study conducted recently.
AutoPacific asked 975 drivers to rate their 2011 Sonatas in 48 different categories everything from environmental friendliness and performance to comfort and convenience. Obviously 2011 Hyundai Sonata owners are loving their cars!
"Quite frankly, we were blown away by the results," stated George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. "The sheer magnitude of the 2011 Sonata's score made recognition necessary. With a score of 775 out of 1,000, the Sonata exceeded everyone's expectations. The Sonata's unique styling was rated almost perfect and was a key driver to its overall superior performance in this research. Clearly, 2011 Hyundai Sonata drivers are extremely satisfied with their purchase." A score as high as 775 has never happened before. AutoPacific said it is above and beyond any recorded score for any product category ever! Nice to know if you are a Hyundai Sonata 2011 owner or planning to purchase one.
John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America was thrilled with the results, saying, "Consumer response to the all-new 2011 Sonata shows the strong appeal of Hyundai's recipe of bold design, great quality, a segment-best 35 miles per gallon, and outstanding residual values. This first-ever AutoPacific President's Award, recognizing the highest score on this survey that AutoPacific has ever seen, is an apt tribute to our California design team, our global engineering team and the 2,700 team members at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama for their fresh thinking and dedication in breaking the mold of the staid and boring mid-size car."
The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has a new and different approach to building a midsize sedan. It uses an advanced four-cylinder engine and strong design and includes many luxury features. When the Sonata premiered it was with the new Theta II 2.4-liter gasoline direct injection engine and an in-house six-speed automatic transmission. It gets about 22 mpg city and an impressive 35 mpg highway. Hyundai will offer hybrid and turbo powertrain options by the end of the year. The company lauding Hyundai Sonata 2011, AutoPacific, describes itself as a "future-oriented" automotive marketing and consulting firm. The firm annually publishes many syndicated studies dealing with the auto industry. Conducting extensive research for not only automakers, but marketers, distributors and suppliers around the world, the company is based in Tustin, California and also has an office near Detroit.
Hyundai Sonata 2011 owners and dealers are grateful that AutoPacific takes the time to recognize outstanding models in the auto industry. This is one of the more prestigious awards received by the new model.
