I dont think the body style warrants it, or that it does it any favors.  I think it tends to shorten it or that the wave breaks up the flow (go figure) or dtracts from the rest of the lines.  <br><br>From a general perspective, I think Hyundai and Kia need to set some design guidelines.   Tuscon and Sante Fe and Elantra are -rounded- while Sonata and Tiburon are angular.<br><br>with kia, sorento and optima are angular while others a re somewhat rounded.<br><br>i think a consistent language would serve each greatly.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[geo.stewart]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2008 5:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Beijing '08 Preview: 2009 Hyundai Elantra to debut with new face]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/10/beijing-08-preview-2009-hyundai-elantra-to-debut-with-new-face/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/10/beijing-08-preview-2009-hyundai-elantra-to-debut-with-new-face/</guid><description><![CDATA[Much nicer then the "all new" '09 Corolla...  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nycbloke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2008 3:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Beijing '08 Preview: 2009 Hyundai Elantra to debut with new face]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/10/beijing-08-preview-2009-hyundai-elantra-to-debut-with-new-face/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/10/beijing-08-preview-2009-hyundai-elantra-to-debut-with-new-face/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not that it takes much to be much nicer than the '09 Corolla.
