Photos of Hyundai Genesis

World Car Fans pulled photos of the new Hyundai Genesis without camou off some Korean site:

http://www.worldcarfans.com/9071127....pied-uncovered

Looks like they did a mix-and-match with the BMW 7, Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS, and Infiniti M.

I don't know if this counts as news, but have no doubt that people here will enjoy crapping all over it

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

I, for one like the design. But like you said, people here are going to give it crap and start comparing it to the CTS.

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

Could the front rip off Lexus any more? ...just like the Sonota rips off the old Accord. How original.

That's the one competitor's car it doesn't look like.... blatant plagiarism.

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

I cannot believe how much the front looks like a Lexus, the back looks like a BMW, or the side looks like an Infiniti.

Wow

Holy cow, it looks like Frankenstein! I can definitely see a lot of BMW in the back, Lexus in the front, and Nissan in the middle. I did not think it was possible to get this derivative in a car.

Somewhere in Korea, there is a BMW missing it's trunk and a Lexus driving around without a grill. Don't know what to say about the interior. BMW i-drive means Toyota dash? This car has me sooooo confused....

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

I get a 7-Series vibe from the back and and ES350 vibe from the front. Not very good things. If you're gonna rip off other car companies, why don't you pick their best looking models.

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

No seriously im ashamed at Hyundai for being really a copy cat. I thought they have matured but evidently they arent ready for prime time with a near luxury sedan that copies other marque's designs.

This car should be boycotted im my opinion. Poor design from Hyundai.

Re: Photos of Hyundai Genesis

Direct copy of more expensive cars.

It actually comes together much better than the other copycats: the Accord or Sonata.

yeah because you are the only opinion that counts here. Never seen someone who goes to a site focuses on one automaker who constantly complains about the memebers not giving enough credit to other automakers. Anyone who actually reads the comments here knows that GM has a ton of critics here. But, lets not let that get in the way of your self righteousness.
