Barf. essentially one big Lexus LS outside and who knows what Infinity inside. I won't even touch the BWM references as Lexus ought to already be ashamed of their mindless mimicry and copyright infringement. You know whenever you copy a copy there is quality degradation. Sure sure, looks good and all that from a few feet away. Unoffensive certainly. But for big $$$, what do you really have???? Kinda like buying a paint by number of the Mona Lisa at the Church art fair for a few million and referring to your itailian masterpiece.
How does Hyundai buy their press anyway? The US Press has fallen over the Hyundai Sonata in most every review. The market is not stupid however, as a frequent business traveller this thing has become the queen of the rental car fleets. While the drive train decent, the interior is an obortion of cut lines, differing material grades, textures, and colors. At least GM does it all up in giant and equally dyed sheet of Rubbermaid grey! Driving dynamics are downright frightening on undulating pavement when pushed anywhere past drivers-ed limits. Strange the Rio and Sportage drive better.....
I like the look of it actually even if it mirrors the compititions offerings. They are building quality cars and deserve all the kudos they are getting. Hyundai doesn't get enough press actually, but this will change. Too bad that Hyundai doesn't make a car pretty enough for you...Lighten up.
It's prob just upsetting to find out that someone who spends 80,000 grand on a car has the same features as someone who spends about 30,000 grand on a car. The class distinction that cars give people is becoming thinner, and it's upsetting to those who think they are better than everyone else.
