They are cruising the I75 tailing one another. I have pics and videos to upload later.
Both cars are the same color.... Michigan manufacture plates on both.

Do you know if they have panoramic roof? dual exhaust on the limited? I put a deposit down on a 2.4L but I'm really praying for the 2.0T to come out asap.
While it didn't appear to have one, I'm not 100% certain.
Dual exhaust was a go though as seen in the pictures.

Turbo....

I can tell the turbo is the Turbo 'cause of the 2.0T on the back.

Why do you think the other one is a 2012?

It could be an 2011 and they are doing a mileage comparison run, couldn't it?
Your right it could be, but it seemed different then the turbo in front.
I dunno.... I'm guessing they are endurance testing it since Michigan is a long way from Florida.
Any idea about the pricing for the Turbo?

Any pictures of the front?
I hope to god that they add in power passenger seats. No other fully loaded car in the class does not have it. It's embarrassing if one pours 30K for such a car and said lady friend has to manually adjust her seat. Turbos are going to cost 2K more than the regular model. However, they'll be so popular that I doubt any dealer is going to give you the deals that they've been giving for the regular version.

Btw ru shadowing them in a 2011 Sonata?
..
My guess, Both Turbo engine cars, Dual pipe turbo badged car is a first off the preproduction line, car. And the other no visible tail pipe car, An early turbo engine installed in this car. Both just traveling, puttin the miles on.
Nahh, they are testing how much using the AC cuts into fuel mileage. Notice the Turbo badged one has the windows up, and the non badged car has the windows down.

No, but were the same as the current model.
I thought the 2nd might have been the hybrid, but no symbols or different front.

I was in a 2009 modded Sonata so they were on to me.
They both dipped off into a rest area after several miles.

You may be right. When I first encountered them that was the scenario. We then went thru a typical Florida rainstorm, and the 2nd driver rolled them up. As soon as we cleared the storm all windows went down again.

I told my gf (driving) that isn't good for mpg since we were doing 70-80mph.
Sound testing perhaps...
Anyone else notice what looks to be a face in the window??
