Power and Associates 2009 Initial Quality Study (IQS), and was the leading non-luxury brand, ahead of Toyota and Honda.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s Kelley Blue Book (KBB) reporting that Hyundai has risen to first place in brand loyalty, with 56.3% of owners looking within the Korean brand for new car purchases. Honda maintains a strong second place with 55.8%, and Toyota dropped 4.4% to 53.3% for third place.<span id=\"more-12959\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hyundai no doubt was happy to hear that its Sonata midsize sedan is KBB\u2019s fifth most popular new vehicle search, likely because of strong media attention that\u2019s backed up by the sleek lines of the 2011 model.\u00a0 Just the same, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry beat the Sonata in search popularity, as do Honda\u2019s Civic and CR-V.<\/p>\n<p><a
