The headlights, C-Pillar remind me of the current accord coupe, and for some reason the grill looks like a crying baby.

thats all you can say about Korean car design. "Oh it reminds me of another car that was designed by actual original people."

The more things change, the more they stay the same. If particular styling cues sell, then all car makes are on the bandwagon. Hyundai is not the first and won't be the last.
At least they don't blatantly do what China does |

As for the coupe. It's not really a shameless ripoff of anything, but you can't say its original, or attractive for that matter. |

no one now that you mention it. I hate the automotive industry. I like cars, but not the business.
The only cars that used to live up to my picky standards were supercars, but even now, those are starting to annoy me with how much they are copying each other. They get so caught up in what the other is doing, that they end up making the same car. The 458 Italia is my favorite design right now. Obviously, in direct competition with Kia and Hyundai. i like Mercedes too. They've made some pretty original cars. Most recently the CLS, which started the whole sedan/coupe hybrid thing, you know, 4 door coupes. Before that, this was before I was ever interested in this stuff so I'm not entirely sure, but the SL was like the first retractible hardtop, which also started a big trend years later. The S-Class always pioneers the safety and comfort features for almost ALL cars. First car with 3 point seatbelts, first with side airbags, first with built in navigation I believe as well. |

What's nice is that even Kia is beating Acura at its own game these days. This looks much better than even the TL.
