I dont like or dislike it. It's fine and it'll definitely stand out from the crowd. If you're really looking for it, it has certain design characteristics from many vehicles. For example, the rear end has similarities to the mid 90's Infiniti J30.

When I saw the first 2 photos my initial thought was that of the VW CC.

I like the design direction they're going in however, of course, there's some tweaking & refining needed. Also I find their wheels intricately busy?

I like how the side-view-monitors are integrated into the dash.

Keep it going!

I do as well, unfortunately everyone gets them EXCEPT the US, because physical sideview mirrors are required. Just like we were for so long with headlights, our regulations are decades behind the industry.

I'd look for them in the 2038 model.

you can keep seeing old civic all you want, knock yourself out.

anyway, yes, they're actually quite different when i did a quick edit.



The Ioniq 6 has the same pooping dog behind like most 4-door coupes but at least the proportions are clearly RWD.
lovely analogy.

That side-by-side illustrates what I was talking about perfectly. EQE looks like a FWD econobox, especially compared to the Ioniq 6 proportions.

So I guess today was the official reveal date, not the 15th.


Just noticed, no pano or glass roof of any sort.

looks old, not in great way. Ioniq 5 looks great retro style.

i'm really not that jazzed about the ioniq 5 after seeing one in person, and the kia ev6 doesn't do it for me. the gv60 is a bit more appealing because it's got nicer materials, but still not really great to me. and this one, well, it's interesting and i like the back of it. but it doesn't strike me as very special.

I got to see this car up close and I love it even more now. Absolutely fantastic job by Luc Donckerwolke and team.

I actually didn't find the GV60 interior to feel as nice a I was expecting. It somehow came off as more "premium" than luxury.

The Mercedes exterior is really really bad.

The front looks pretty good, but the side bubble does not. Looks like a computer mouse. Definitely better looking than the Mercedes EQS. The back looks quite sportY. They really should drop the Hyundai badge in the middle out back. Ugly wheels
