Hyundai’s Sonata would be a quantum leap forward for the Korean firm under any circumstances, but with a direct-injected standard model, a new hybrid model and now a twin-scroll turbocharged model, it also offers three of the hottest technologies in the business today. The turbo version makes 274 hp, 269 lb-ft of torque while still achieving an estimated 22/34 mpg, making it a V6-free performance option in the crowded midsized segment. Too bad it won’t be available with a manual transmission.

Isn't it more like having a woman who always wants to be on top? Only problem is, if she's like most traditional automatics, she'll finish before you do.
Wow, guys you're over analyzing this. Four cylinder I either want manual or a VERY good CVT. If the car is torque-y then an auto will do. However if the company fronts it as a sporty car, then it better be manual.
