No, you're wrong! This "mouth" was never designed by Ford. Check this one out: http://www.techfresh.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/a12.jpg And the concept is from 2007. Hyundai have their own proper design so you just have to learn more about it. And there's something really interesting again from 2007: http://www.arabaruyasi.com/data/media/22/hyundaivelosterconcept2ha4.jpg That front wing actually reminds me of the Aston Martin One-77 that we saw one year later.

Do you know how long it takes to style and actually produce a car? Ford was probably working on this since 2005 or 2006. Article from 2007 http://www.worldcarfans.com/6070607.001/new-ford-fiesta-spy-photos

But Hyundai had this front on the i30 concept - a car that came into production some time before the Fiesta. So it was probably designed much earlier. http://www.tomgarner.co.uk/uploaded_images/i30.jpg You just can't accuse them of copying.

I think both cars were born or designed by the same poeple. They were both designed in europe. I think Hundai just came out with that i30 first cuz ford is slow to do everything. But the production i30 doesnt have the roundness that the fiesta and this car has.

agree with you pzigly...lets say it takes 2 years to properly produce a working design.. I say Mitusbishi was the first one to come up with this nose...and it was already being sported by a working model in 2005.. http://www.autocult.com.au/Image.aspx?id=3566
