I drove the new Sonata from Philadelphia to Northern Virginia, where I picked up my wife, Mary Anne, and continued deep into Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
Mary Anne has a way of "feeling" cars before she actually pays attention to them.
"Lexus?" she asked.
"No," I said.
"Infiniti?" she queried.
"Unh-unh," I mumbled.
"What?" she demanded.
"Hyundai," I said.
"Like, what? You mean Hyundai Genesis?" she asked, referring to Hyundai's luxury model.
"I mean Hyundai Sonata," I said, at which, the car's cabin fell silent.
A shock of another sort silenced conversation when we stopped at a Virginia gas station after having driven nearly 350 miles since my leaving Philadelphia.
"You must've filled up on your way home from Philadelphia," Mary Anne said.
