WTF the front looks like a bad merc-lexus copy, the backlights are from the bmw 3-series, only stretched!

The Genesis has the 17 speaker 528 watt Lexicon audio system factory installed. There is only 1 other car maker that uses this ultra high end system, that brand would be Rolls Royce, the golden standard for quality asskicking. More than can be said about the 2 German car makers. Keep that in mind when you people wanna keep hounding on this amazing car maker.

Does Hyundai have any original ideas or designs? I hate this auto company with a passion.

looks like a 7er BMW from the back... almost 1:1 copy....
the idirive joystick is also very BMW like.... copy cat delight...

everyone knows an idrive system is the future for all automobiles but no one admits it because their pissed that BMW was the first to do it.

the lines which create the interior dash are ripped from an S class. whats that symbol on the steering wheel?
November 27, 2007 1:04 pm
haha youre funny..not. Its the same symbol found on the previous generation Equus (its predecessor).

OMG! Isn't there a Copyright law? Recently, one of the Toyota executives made a statement about hyundai being a company whose gonna probably give them a run for the money. But, how could you even say that when these guys are only concerned about others have in mind, or even what other companies have designed. SHAME ON YOU hyundai! Why don't you come up with your own designs and stop copying BMW, TOYOTA, HONDA, ETC....?

Are you people kidding me..Honda ripped off the Sonata with its recent iteration of the Accord. And the interior is from the Azera with the exception of the idrive feature (which is not exclusive to BMW). I have an 07 Audit A6, which has an idrive interface. It is a breath of fresh air not having to pay $50k large for a nice, reliable sedan. You people should stop imitating what you read, because most of it is garbage. Think for yourself..now that's an idea!

I totally agree with your comment...Toyota/Lexus made a name for itself slavishly copying Mercedes Benz...now Toyota is copying the styling of BMW...but judge the car on its merits and engineering not on the name of the car maker...

Didn't the new Sonata pre-date the new Accord by a year? I agree that Honda ripped off Hyundai on that one.
November 28, 2007 3:39 pm
Don't know why I am wasting my strength to reply to you, but the Sonata was released before the Accord.

I even want to comment on the written commentions.
We all know, that the korean carcompanies don't be able to be unique. They design their cars of inspiration about many european creations. But I think most of you guys only see, what you want to see for make your anger about Hyundai stronger and stronger. I don't see bmw taillights or a 7er back. The "Hofmeisterknick" called windowshape in the reardoors are the only thing I whould call a BMW-signature.
The car isn't a milestone of design, but give them a chance, it's not the worst.

When a european manufacturer copies an other manufacturer from our little continent, it is a process of culture, but what Hyundai does is theft, it's criminal.
November 27, 2007 4:31 pm
So culture isn't allowed to spread past the European borders? That's some real common sense there.

Looks more like Hyundai copied Infiniti's M45. The gearshift knob looks like the one on the Lexus LS, but the tailights and the dash look very similar to those on the M45. The front looks too similar to that of the LS and that little BMW trademark on the greenhouse line is quite annoying. I'm dissapointed that Hyundai couldn't have shown more in terms of originality. This should still be a nice car because Hyundai is well known for its quality. Also, the Equus looked much more elegant than this.

What I don't get is that they even copied the 5 series down to the roof fin. I see shades of Ssangyong.

Im curious how this sedan is going to be under 30,000 when the Azera is over the 30,000 dollar mark with just a few ad ons..This range is pushing to high for a Hyundai (for a few extra thousand i could get the new CTS). Once again this is another car from them them doesn't have a brand identity that they need (dodge has the cross Lincoln waterfall grill, etc...). This company has a been on a bad trend of coping designs

idrive is junk so why put it in a copycat car other than to copy. Hopefully they do it better

Before you guys bash on this car, and hyundai, maybe you should wait until you see it in person. BTW, remember when Lexus came out with it's first gen LS? What everybody said about Lexus being A Mercedes wannabe?
So just shut up and give this car a chance; it will only get better from here! FYI, Hyundai outsourced the exterior design of this car... Yes it could be better; but it could also be a lot worse!
November 27, 2007 8:12 pm
im wondering how many of you actually know about car..so dont talk like you are Chris Bangle..LOL.just wait and see it in person first and talk later.

Looks like the took a Lexus LS, BMW 7-Series, Infiniti M, and Mercedes S-Class and played mix-and-match. Not a very cohesive result.
