Once again, Hyundai is off in a new styling direction. This company has some serious A.D.D., but it's for the better in this case. Very prominent and sharp styling, or a nice mix of 7-series, GS, Avalon, and A7. If it had more of a formal trunk instead of the compact car hatch-look, I'd say this is one of the best-looking sedans to emerge in 10 years. Only downside is it makes the Azera look plebian.
Unfortunately the Optima has that odd hood gap as well but it grows on you... not sure if the Sonata has that but that seems to Kia/Hyundai styling.... looks pretty good so far..
I like it. It does look pretty damn good.
Is the audi designer still at hyundai b/c it does look very A7'ish?
Just like this? I see lots of cars are doing this now, kinda weird.

I realize they copied every German car known to man but at least they copied the attractive ones...loThis has more "presence" than the previous model and if they add some more distinctive styling to the R-Spec model I may buy it and get rid of my r-spec coupe or sonata.

Hehe hey now, French cars do look nice. 
Heck, in fact, I dream of owning a French car some day (and I'm personally dreaming of owning a 508 SW GT)
Other nice looking French cars IMHO (aside from Bugatti of course) include:

Hehe to be honest, I actually like the 508.
In fact, I was doing a comparison between a Peugeot 508 GT Diesel and a Hyundai Azera 3.0 V6.
It was a close match no doubt and I believe that you can't go wrong with either car. However, for some reason, I was convinced that I would prioritize the Peugeot before the Hyundai.

Well no matter what it looks like, you have a 2nd gen RWD V-6/V-8 car which continues to elevate Hyundai even if it hasn't caught fire with sales or the aftermarket. Like the previous model, it is inoffensive to look out with good proportions of a proper luxury vehicle. Surely it will drive better too. There is a niche for this car and the Equus.

Closer to $45k. Ive seen 2013 r-specs selling for $40k. In truth if the new r-spec is not substantially better looking than the outgoing model then purchasing a 2013 - 2014 R-spec in the 35-38k range could be the bargain of the year.
