LOL, so true. I wish they'd at least derive their design from cars outside the same segment. The current Sonata looks like the last-gen Accord, the Elantra looks like a mix of the JDM Civic and a Corolla. Now this. At least the European i-series cars don't seem to be aping oth... oh wait, they all look like Peugeots.

looks awsome! loved the inside, hope it wont use so much gas like the previous model, definately a keeper. they said it would come also with a 1.6 turbo but nothing here about that.

Don?t really like it much, overall shape is nice, however the waistline is too tall and greenhouse area looks out of proportion, way too small. Also some unsuccessful Bangle-ism on the sides, for me Hyundai has come up short on this successor to the likeable and no-nonsense original Tucson.

Looks a little too busy, but it's still an overall cool design from Hyundai.

Why does everyone compare this to a Kuga? Yes i've seen it but they were designed around the same time and this will be in the US before the Kuga so it seems to me that any design similarities are either imagined up by pessimistic minds or strange coincidence. either way its a good looking vehicle and much better than a ford.

Are the models really tall or is the car shorter in overall height than the previous version?

There are now two things common between Toyota and Hyundai, both are very reliable (Hyundai now) and both make utterly UGLY looking cars for some reason, Hyundai has an exception in Genesis and Toyota has an exception in Venza, otherwise look at any of their cars and it appears like the designer fell asleep finishing the design and it went haywire.

ix35? Doesn't that mirror Infiniti's nomenclature system? More than a Ford Kuga, this car reminds me a lot of the new Infiniti FX. Overall, nice design.
