all manufacturers copy from others. Its a melding of automotive design. Thats why most cars to untrained eyes look all the same today. ask your parents or grandparents

Once again, WOW! Hyundai does it again. Great job, Hyundai. I'd take this over a RAV any day.
Hyundai should take over Pontiac's slogan. "We build excitement."

Just about every manufacturer is using these trendy, cross-eyed gauge cluster tunnels. If you're going to pick on Hyundai for this, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, Mistubishi, Kia, and a ton of others brands should be mentioned too.
The rest of the truck looks fair. It's got A LOT of lines going all over the place and appears overstyled IMO (a common Korean car company problem). But it's unoffending, still stylish, and going to sell well.
This company is on the right track and in tune better than most others.

Really? The front end looks like a chipmunk, I definitely would not choose this over a Rav 4. Plus I'm sure a Rav 4 V6 Sport would eat a Tuscon V6 performance-wise, and likely in fuel economy too.

I disagree, but to each his own. It definitely blows away the Rav 4 in terms of being over-styled and gaudy.

Rav 4 also gets a redesign soon, we shall see how the next-gen Rav compares to this.

Not bad. Hyundai is doing well. I like the styling on this model because it looks more modern, muscular, and edgy. I think its going to sell well in the current market.

Looking good, but needs a front bumper and dump the cross-eyed gauge pods.

I looked at one yesterday. I'm assuming my salesperson saw that I pulled up in a Porsche. While I was looking at the Tucson, he claimed that they were manufactured in Germany, so that I would technically be driving a German car and not a Korean one.

Unless he knows something we all do not know, that is a new sales tactic.

Lolz

Although there is some truth though. The new Tucson ix is designed in one of Hyundai's Design facilities in Germany........BUT it is not manufactured in Germany.

The new Tucson is made in Korea and in Slovakia (for the European market).
