\nImagine, for a moment, that you’re forced to invent a new candy with the specific objective of taking a bite out of the market segment comfortably satisfied by M&M’s, Skittles and Reese’s Pieces. Sounds daunting, right? With that in mind, the all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata<\/a> is being placed right back into the middle of the hotly-contested family sedan segment, already occupied by such established players as the Honda Accord<\/a>, Toyota Camry<\/a>, Nissan Altima<\/a>, Ford Fusion<\/a> and Chevrolet Malibu<\/a>, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Completely redesigned for 2011, the Sonata is freshly styled and more spacious than its predecessor. It brings a few innovations to the game, including a new direct-injected four-cylinder powerplant mated to a six-speed automatic – yet it has no V6 option. We put a couple hundred miles on the new Sonata in San Diego. The weather was nice, but how was the car? Does Hyundai’s all-new family sedan have what it takes to be an outstanding sweet in the candy dish? Find out after the jump…<\/p>\n
