I'm talking about styling. There's nothing original about the Equus or Genesis.

When companies make mid-range priced vehicles nowadays there is hardly any change compared to the previous model (in most cases).

Let Hyundai live.

Most companies have a design language that they use for their lineup. Hyundai just rips off different styling elements of different cars and makes a mashup.

I know they have great value compared to the competition, they have great warranties, blah blah blah. But the fact is, until they get some original stylingI'm not buying one.

I think he means how you can easily see influences from Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes in Hyundai's designs. You have to admit the side view ofthe Sonata almost looks just like a Camry. On the other hand, all car designers borrow from one another (i.e the number of cars with a "bangle butt"now, The new 7 series lights...)

Looks exactly like a Camry Solara.

 

[screech5511]

the interior is nice, you overhyped the car in your title

 

[mateen cleaves]

interior is sick but its ugly on the outside.

 

[ac4three]

Not bad, but it won't dethrone its competitors...

Seriously, it's still a Hyundai and it still sucks.

I noticed though, a lot of mid-range auto companies have been stepping it up recently. Almost every model I see on the street is impressive.

CC was the first thing I thought of. Them boys at Hyundai are sly.

You're not getting it. Mercedes started the 4-door coupe trend with the CLS, and VW followed with their own entry, the CC, THAT HAS ITS OWN VW DESIGN CUES.It's not a blatant rip off of the CLS. It's just another entry in the 4-door coupe segment. The Sonata on the other hand is a shameful rip-off of theCC's design.

Thats the first car that came to mind. The interior dash looks exactly like a lexus rx/infiniti m hybrid

with mercedes seat control's, the outsidelooks very similar to the CLS, and the back end of the car looks like a bmw 3 series coupe. I drove a hyundai back in 2005 as a loaner, and ill tell you theybuild solid feeling cars, I wouldn't mind pushing one if the reliability was there and just drive it into the ground but they lack originality in every waywhich im not to fond of.

CC's rip off ??.... nahh

its more of 4-door coupe of cls with toyota solara front.

- The official 2011 Hyundai Sonata is a disappointment; particularly when you consider the design of the concept vehicle.

- There's only so much you can do with design concerning a standard 3-box (trunk, greenhouse, engine compartment) vehicle. Most sedans are similar; designdifferences generally emerge from fascia design element highlights (grille, headlights, air dam/spoiler, etc.). It seems as though everything possible withthe arrangement of these elements has already been done to death by all manufacturers; only thing left is vehicle shape.

- The concept was crazy, but cost prohibitive in the current economic climate...
- 10-15 years from now, current concept pictures should be reality

(suspension height,rim size, sheet-metal design)

 

[jretro23]

love the interior

 

[mc otaku]

How is it a rip off of the CC's design?

 

[danielskshin]

Not seeing the CC either. So, does that concept look like a CC too?
