Not a bad car IMO. I made a thread about this, but I forgot about this one.

Nothing an aftermarket grill can't fix. I think its fantastic inside and out. Somehow they blended so many design cues from other carmakers but it worked out.

The tier II/III luxo brands and top of the line Avalon, Buicks, etc should be crapping bricks. This is HAWT!!

Hyundai Genesis

Looks like Hyundai copied a little something from each of the big boys. No originality, but smart move nevertheless...

Nice chops!! Weight is pretty damn good for a big car, 3750 with the V-6 and 4000 with the V-8, which is lighter than the GS/5/E etc....which are smaller...

Brakes are a tad small on the V-6, 13" on the V-8. It has dimensions of the old LS 430 to give you an idea of size.

Rear tails remind me of the old Infiniti I30/I35.

Hyundai has come a long way. They are starting to grow on me. I saw the Genesis in a recent R&T article.

Lets see what i can dig up. It's already a dated design since it resembles EVERY vehicle out there.

BMW styled headlights and their goofy I-drive knockoff and Dash, Infiniti styling in the rear and partly interior design, Mercedes/Lexus Front end and a Lexus GS side profile.

Looks like another complete knock-off just like every other vehicle they make.

because lexus made totally original designs when first getting started. Its pointless to complain about this car looks like that car nowadays, new cars will always look like something else, therefore I've stopped caring.
