Hyundai | Genesis

But the excitement didn't last long as I could clearly see the Genesis a clone of all possible 'big' sedans .. i.e the grill matches (actually the entire front) that of the new 'C' class, the head lights from an angle are analogous to that of a 'Saab' and the angular cut to the rear lights (on the boot section) give it a '3 series' cult.
No doubt the car is cool (not to me though) but it just drives down the enthusiasm of the concept we have been seing for some time now, with the explanation - 'The concept never looked like this, did it?'

Other Hyundai vehicles that are Akin (to my knowledge) are
Sonata - Erstwhile Honda Accord
Elantara - Toyota Corolla (old version)
The new i30 - BMW 1 Series (from the back)

When will Hyundai grow up with its own designs? No wonders they sell poorly in the UK, inspite of their unbeatable 5 years warranty. Damn sister KIA sells more than them, with their European designs
When I saw it's pic for the first time it reminded me of the Camry.
