Since the next generation of GC's may be AWD, do you guys think Hyundai will ever come out with an AWD sedan, like the Sonata?
If Subaru and Mitsubishi can have AWD turbo sedans, why cant Hyundai?

The Gen Sedan will get an AWD option, and a smaller upcoming sedan on the Genesis platform will also have the AWD option it sounds like. I doubt they'll move AWD down to the non-premium Hyundai cars, just because the added complexity of having an AWD option in a platform will increase the weight of even the FWD versions will negatively effect fuel economy and acceleration.
I agree. It'll be something for the Genesis Sedan and Coupe, maybe to directly compete with the options on the Infiniti M/G series and to offer it for northern market that may see harsher winters.
