I think it looks very good.
Much better than the present boring design.

Looks nice, but the biggest improvement the Genesis needs is in the general driving dynamics department, but especially suspension refinement. The one I test drove felt extremely unsettled on a certain stretch of highway in my area that every other car I've owned has handled just fine. Seriously felt like you were off-roading. Went to look up some reviews and yep, "unsettled ride" was a big point of criticism. I also thought that suspension and tire noise leaking into an otherwise pretty quiet cabin was very odd. Why go to such great lengths to give a car a quiet interior if you're not going to go all the way and isolate tire/suspension noise. That was annoying. Overall the outgoing Genesis is a very nice car though. Hope the new one continues to improve. I have no doubt that it will.

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.

looks really good, but totally derivative of mazda (6), jaguar (xj), etc.

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

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.
