brands place a distinctive logo on a product for a various reason. are you saying hyundai shouldn't try to make their luxury cars different than their normal offering? just because they are boring luxury cars?
here is another one.

The CTS looks amazing in person from the front, truly dynamic and identifiable. The Genesis to me looks like they added a big random shaped grill sine everyone else is doing big grills. The CTS flows well, the Genesis kind of sticks out to me and just doesn't flow well. And they continue to omit the Hyundai badge on the front.

I sale cars for a living, and have for sometime now, I was with Honda the last 5 years, but due to change in ownership , decided to switch Hyundai, they seem to have the best warrenty, and you get a lot of features for a cheaper price.. I see it everyday peopling are tradind in BMW's, Lexuses etc......, for Hyundais, Im not saying one is better than the other, 6 months ago I did nothing but talk trash about Hyundai, now that I have took all my test and got the chance to drive them, I have had a change in mind..

I can't believe these humongo grills have caught on to this extent. But I guess it's an easy way to make a statement and make the car distinguishable. Oh well.
I miss the simple grills.

The way car design is going, there will no longer be bumpers... just big honkin' grills.

Having said that, though, IMO, there is still no better auto company in the business when it comes to assembling a car at the factory with Swiss-Watch quality. New Hondas and Acuras, even if they aren't necessarily the best-driving cars anymore, still come bolted-together from the plant with laser-like precision. But, as DaneAustin here notes, other companies, overall, now offer as much or more for equal or less money.

...........so the chips on the road end up damaging the chrome on the grilles instead of simple bumper-paint. You just trade Peter for Paul.

The single, vertical headlight lenses and lack of horizontal frontal usage on the above Caddy is what makes the lower black cut-outs standout too much.

The majority surface area of these new big grilles is black plastic (not chrome). Damage to those finishes is very hard to detect. So rock chips on these big grilles will hardly show compared to rock chips on a painted surface or chrome trim. I think that is what the O.P. was referring to as far as damage and cost. I never thought about such an advantage to these gaping mouths, but there's a new one I'd put on my pros and cons shopping list!

Why are so many fussed about this car? Every post in this thread makes the Hyundai viral marketers in this forum happy. Whoops, just added to their income. Hence this will be my last post here.

And as a final input from me, i'm glad that BMW hasn't participated in the 'gaping' grill frenzy.
Restrained elegance, no wonder it sells so well. ^^
