and the door panels look similar to Jaguar XJ.

Some luxury brands should take their badges off b/c this car embarrasses entire LINEUPS, not just cars.
Seriously, I now take some of them even less serious, knowing the specs of this car. A Hyundai owner can brag more on their car than some entire luxury brands. That is hilarious.

Mercedes is on a roll with Hyundai!!
I hate Nissans and Fords, but I can honestly say that they have their OWN look and don't need anyone else to copy from.
The Same with Lexus, BMW, and GM!! They all have ORIGINAL designs and ideas that stupid companies copy off of because they can't do better.

in this day and age everybody copies everybody. I honestly don't care as long its a good design. yes styling inside and out is derivitive, but who cares at 30k? looks better than other 30k cars out there? Am I right?
it kills the only other current RWD competitor the 300. the G8 might be another story. we'll have to wait and see.

Several months back some of you guys will recall me posting how I saw this vehicle in person. It was black on black with some masking however the interior was clear. Driver was asking for directions to the airport allowing clear shots of the car and I was very impressed.
I realize this company has bit styling cues off everybody and their brother however it seems to work. Seriously considering this as a P/T family hauler.
Some rims and a drop and you have a nicely done luxury car for 35k

so many haters out there, as if hyundai directly stole from them lol
Does it look good? a) yes b) no
I could care less if its identical to a lexus interior down to the mm measurements. Personally I think hyundai developed a rep for ripping designs and people are grasping at any similarities, real or imagined.

Unless I have test drive on genesis and it's really can reach the level of what ES350 does in term of comfort, quietness, reliability, functionality, I can't imagine it can really threaten ES350.
Usually, some cars can easily add some nice features, but it's really hard to make it make it work wholly.
I was in a X3 of my colleague once, it looked very nice inside and out, but when it was really running at high speed, it's so noisy, and every part sounds crappy.
I don't discriminate Hyundai, and I'd like to try it if it's really as good as it is listed.

I didn't call anyone out, so don't be so offended by my statement.
