TheCarConnection Names the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Its 'Best Car to Buy 2011'

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- TheCarConnection, the easy-to-use car shopping site that reviews cars and the best of the Web, today named the 2011 Hyundai Sonata its "Best Car to Buy 2011" as part of its coverage of the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, which includes reporting, analysis, photography, as well as real-time Twitter coverage from the show floor.

TheCarConnection's "Best Car to Buy Award" was chosen from a field of 40 nominees.

The result is a unique, one-stop car rating and review that makes car shopping easier.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is a stellar value in all its forms—standard, turbocharged 2.0T, and Hybrid, according to Marty Padgett, editorial director of High Gear Media, and was chosen over finalists such as the 2011 Kia Optima, the 2011 Buick Regal, and the 2011 Ford Explorer.
