That interior looks really good. Left to be seen the quality of materials.
What I can see of the exterior doesn't appeal to me though.

The shape of the front end looks very similar to the prev. gen Camry.

Not feeling it. In a vehicle, I like to see at least one wow feature/design element or something that sticks out. Seems a rehash of elements from other vehicles.

that is a huge/cluttered steering wheel.

and that early 90s looking wrist watch style center clock kills the whole "up scale luxury" scheme IMO.

I agree with you but this is Hyundai. They will at least in the near future be the "Economy" Luxury car with the Genesis. For a car that will be around $33k and trying to fit in all of the features of the more expensive cars is the feat, not the innovation. Since this is based on their new chassis and FIRST rear-wheel drive, I am very curious to see where Hyundai is headed.

wow.. is that active cruise control I see?


Hmm... i-Drive/MMI/COMAND type system. Would be nice if they offered touch screen but that means the screen has to be closer.

Looks like active cruise control doesn't it?

Not feeling the iPod scroll-wheel style buttons on the steering wheel.

Probably good value, still wouldn't get one though.

Clean interior (with the exception to the steering wheel), but definately stole a bunch of ideas from BMW for the iDrive-esque toggle, Infiniti for their Nav dash layout, and Playstation for the steering wheel.

Interested in learning more. I want to know how this will turn out...

the dash reminds me of the S-Class somewhat and the exterior especially in that third shot remindes me of the G35 i'll holdoff what I think till they release official pictures.

The exterior will probably be just handsome at best. Hyundai still hasn't quite gotten its styling thing down yet. But their strides in interior design and finish have advanced so far in such a short period of time that it's scary.

Just more Hyundai Haterade here I see.

If this car comes out with the same options and size say as an ES350 or Avalon, for $10K less and it's RWD, I think it will do well.
