Lightbulb Watch out Lexus... Here comes Hyundai...(Genesis concept images released - Page 2)

I know we've all heard about how the Lexus LS has looked like the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7-Series (as of late) - but look at Hyundai getting aspirations from Lexus now...

Isn't this a repost and we already discussed and knew that this is not an official sketch from Hyundai?

Pretty much. Maybe with a dash of MB CLS thrown in for good measure.

Copy cat or not at least Hyundai is copying the right styles. I think that car looks good.

At least this rendering has more conservative possibilities for being on a production level car. Nice shape though as pointed out a blend of current cars.

(Gag...I grow tired of swoopy streamline type lines only to find they are substantially fattened up in production. )
