Unfortunately, Hyundai is never innovative in design nor technology.

They simply find what is popular and add it to their cars. Although they now build nice cars, they simply are too generic for my taste.

A generic alternative to the luxury pill. Oh well...

If you look at the Genesis, it's got the Benz grill (like this one), the side profile of a 3GS, and the tail lights of the current 5 series.

I mean seriously, did they have to so obviously rip off the Benz grill?
How are people supposed to take a car company that can't even come up with their own original design/styling language seriously?
They've been around a while now, it's about time they put the money into coming up with their own styling language especially if they're not willing to put out the money to start a separate luxury division.

For these reasons, I am not impressed.
I totally agree with you , BUT
benz hasn't been innovative in their own design either.

BMW is still the innovative design leader (bad or good)

Back to hyundai, I'll take this anyday over acura

Oh yea, if Acura isn't careful right here, they're going to find them selves to be an even more a non-player than they already are.
