so called i45 is the 2011 variant of hyundai Sonata, marketed in Middle East and in other regions. This was out for sale since third quarter of 2010 in these regions. The new Accent 2012 model also got similar curves and looks..
Hyundai i series (i10, i20 and now i45) are at par with desi/videshi sedans.... it will be interesting to watch how kizashi fares among such competition.

I have a Honda Accord in the US, costs way too less there and is no match for the BMWs, good to know it's in the luxury segment in India.
all these cars in US cost half of what they cost here as they are imported. Shame on India that we still cannot make good cars of our own and have to import them by paying more than 120% tax

SInce Indian Cars areno match with their competitors abroad, they blacmail Govt.of India to keep Import duty 120% , so that world class cars, whose prices are much less than Indian cars, but with much better features, will be beyond the reach of Indians.It is a shame.
You can get a Honda Accord for the price of a Honday city in the US and in many other countries. Key reason is the lack of competition due to high import duty (120%) due to car manufacturers whining when the NDA was in power. Subsidies for the right, MMS style!
