Too bad they didn't use this exterior design on the Genesis, because it's far better looking.
Overall I would give it an A+. It easily blows CamCordTima out of the water and I would be very surprised if any of them came out with something this beautiful or dramatic in 2-3 years at their redesigns. This looks more entry level lux than mainstream. Kudos to Hyundai.

That looks so good its ridiculous!! I actually think it looks more aggressive than the Genesis. I hope the engine choices reflect the performance inspired looks..
I hate to say this but the Camry and Accord look "weak" against that rendering of the Sonata. Hyundai is taking design cues but IMO they are taking all the RIGHT ones from other manufacturers and it works.
Other cars in this class look boring to me..
I agree as well
This plus Hyundai's 10 year warranty

it looks like a carbon copy of the VW CC. All of the exterior sheetmetal is CC.
When you put the two cars next to each other, dare say i think the profile and look of the Hyundai is BETTER, and sleeker!
EXTREMELY good looking car!!

i hate that character line crease down the side. it starts too low, and makes it look awkward.
the VW CC crease is more proportional. the sonata crease looks like an afterthought
