Well, like you, I'm not a fan of its looks, but styling, of course, is subjective. And, given its sales numbers, there are apparently a lot of car-buyers that either like the styling, put up with it, or are willing to overlook it because of the car's other nice features.

And this styling theme has been tired for at least a year now. Hopefully Hyundai will do to this car what they did to the Sonata and change its looks completely for the next generation. This design should not "evolve", it needs a complete overhaul in my opinion

I didn't think it was terrible looking, I just don't see them here. But hey if they want to move upmarket then start axing these cheaper Hyundai's, sister company Kia already has most of them in a different package anyway

I think these things have bad resale. I just ran across a used 2013 coupe with 18k with an asking price of $9k.
