i think the rendering itself has a bit of an exaggerated perspective, kind of making the car tape off to a point, so i think irl it won't have the big face, small butt look.

I agree. It's one of those cars that I'll need to see in person vs. just in pics.

Looks like an Audi A7 from the rear.

Totally derivative and awkward in some angles. At least with their Sonata design language it was distinct even if it was distinctively ugly.

side view kinda looks like the avalon as well.

however this is good news for consumers for the 2014 and older models, in particular the 2012 to 2014. The updated bumpers, led headlights and sideskirts really make the car very appealing. I'd probably opt for the older 2012 to 2014 model than this latest. At least it has more character design.

the front grille is really not happening, they tried to copy it by trying to make it look different and failed miserably.

on the positive, that wheel stance/fitment looks awesome, and i'm no fan of the current genesis interior, and this will likely be a huge area of change.
