Hyundai: Styling on Steroids (vehicle, 2010, coupe, engine)

[Pretzelogik]

First swing around a parking lot, in many years, to get a second look at a new car. The new Hyundai Genesis coupe. Wowsers That plus the new Sonata and Tucson...they must have robbed the rest of the design studios!

Well they pretty much did. Their designs are definitely nice and way better than the older models, but there isn't much original there, at least IMO.

Genesis Coupe = Infiniti G37 Coupe
Sonata = Volkswagen CC
Tuscon = Lexus RX350

I'm not dissing them and many cars share similar styling cues, but I think in this case Hyundai is a little more direct with their imitation. However, as they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and in this case Hyundai is allowing you to get the styling of a much more expensive vehicle for a much lower price.

the Genesis coupe is a rip off of the G37 coupe but for half the price and with 99% performace of the G37 performance it will be a huge sucess for Hyundai

KIA is bad for it with the forte koupe it is direct rip off of the honda civic

The new Sonata looks a lot like a Lexis sedan. The curves and all.

I am not a Hyundais fan, but following your thoughts all cars alike: 4 weals drive, 2(3,4,5) doors, engine, horn...

Who makes Lexis? Is that a new Mexican brand or something?

If you never heard of Lexis, then you should leave this forum NOW.
