Sonata's stops at the dividing color transition and the upper silver parts have the vents in them on the sides vs. the simpler, plainer Corolla interior.

It does look similar to the RX dash. One think I like better about this layout as compared to my 04 RX330 dash layout is that the AC controls is at the bottom and separate hard button controls which I like, and the Nav/Radio screen is up high and looks to be much closer to a standard double DIN, or at least about to fit a double DIN with little mods. I hate that cars today are coming with so integrated radios and at such odd shapes. I personally have turned down buying cars simply for the lack of ease installing aftermarket audio/video components.

I didn't mean it as a rude comment....nothing personal.
I was only trying to point out that the public perception of Hyundai is some 10-15 years behind the times, and is not consistent with reality.
In reverse, this also the case withn Mercedes-Benz. Much of the public still perceives M-B vehicles as among the best on the planet, as was the case 15-20 years ago. Though still rated highly in safety features, in reality, M-B is the second-worst nameplate in reliablity today, behind Land Rover.

Hyundai is not shy about stating their goal which is to become like Toyota (in whatever sense that may be) and that can be seen in many of their recent interiors.

The layout of the interior, and the placement of many of the controls has Toyota written all over it. It's obviously not identical to any one particular Toyota interior, because Hyundai would be making a big mistake in doing so. The interior though is similar to several Toyota interiors. I see strong similarity not just to the RX interior, but also to the Highlander and Camry interiors.
