I am so impressed with Huyndai's progress. They have really come along way since my brand new 1995 Accent.

I like it but it's funny. First gen Lexus copied Benz style, 2nd gen Lexus copies BMW style. Last gen Hyundia Sonata copied previous gen Honda Accord, new gen Hyundai Sonata copies Toyota Camry. Brilliant and funny. This is a better looking Camry and at a lower price.

damn, turn out the best design piece falls in the hand of Alfa(Italy), Aston Martin, Jaguar(UK), as usual, and the new member Hyundai(Korea)! And please don't compare this to Camry. This car has much more original scratches and lines, while Camry is damn boring and old-fashion though its interior is not bad at night.

okay to be fair...I see a Camry front, echoes of Chrysler Sebring from the front quarter view through the C pillar (including the headlight shape) and VW after the D pillar including the rear. ...But we all know its aimed at the segment leader the Toyota Camry and to a casual glance that is what it looks like.

This looks nothing like a Camry. An excellent design from Hyundai. Clearly, the Sonata is moving upmarket.

You are right, it just copied some clue from Infinity's car and make them out-detailed and cheaper built quality. This pretty car must have pretty interior like XF, A6, or even from 5 series, then it will make me feel good enough to purchase one.

This new Sonata looks really sweet. I give a lot of credit to Hyundai. I just hope the next Camry looks as nice (I'll admit, they have been good with their latest designs as of late). The same cannot be said for Honda.

It's pretty sad that these Korean companies have so quickly figured out how to get things right further dooming the big three. Hey, "may the best car win" right GM?

How much repair cost is needed for front damage on that enormous grill? The overall design flows like a Merc CLS, which is good :).

It looks like the love-child of a Camry Solara and Mercedes Coupe. Hyundai's designs have always been "copy-cat" from the beginning.
