The shadow of a local government officer is cast on a billboard of a new Sonata sedan at a Hyundai plant in Beijing December 23, 2002. Hyundai Motor Co Ltd rolled out its first China sedan on Monday and raised its sales outlook for the country by half as South Korea's top automaker revs up in one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets. Hyundai's factory will mostly make the mid-sized Sonata sedan, which will be priced between 176,000 yuan ($21,250) for a basic version with a 2.0-litre engine to 265,000 yuan ($41,030) for the high-end trim with a 2.7-litre motor, a Beijing Automotive official said.
