Isaac Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I like the bold looks. Much better than the boring Altimas, Accords and Camrys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007DBR9 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 That roofline has a lot or Mercedes CLS about it! Looks OK, but all the styling has been taken from other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite_Deforce Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Why would I buy a car that's not even original. Altima may look more boring, but I'd rather that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if the camry dont look like the lexuses (nothing original there) but yes, I also agree that Hyundai should have been more original but the bold look does make it different. Next car please.

dr. joint Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Umm... Toyota makes Lexus... Dude, even an infant knows that. Precisely the point. Camry looks like the Lexus, Lexus looks like the Crown majesta, etc. etc. Nothing original there. So I praise the Hyundai's bold design. Some parts of it are indeed copied from the designs of other cars, but at least they tried to be daring. Ho hum for toyota's dull designs.

Isaac Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Toyota, Honda and Nissan can't make their cars look to nice for fear of eating into sales of their much more profitable luxury series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Isaac is right. And Hyundai doesn't know how to design cars btw. See tiburon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 My family has a history of buying Toyota....so pardon me, but all this talk about being unoriginal in design - You don't buy a Toyota for how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 You don't buy a Toyota for how it looks. Exactly. Hyundai has to do something to draw in buyers. I think they are on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Looks nice....Korean manufacturers have certainly become much more up-market in recent years, I love the quality looking materials inside, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See tiburon. I mean they should at least try to differentiate the model famillies, right? Imagine paying a premium for a lexus when what you really got is a rebadged camry. I agree with you on the tiburon, but it's all in the past now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. joint Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 That's for sure. Definitely. But its not just the design of toyota's thats botherin' me. It's the dull drive. there's no emotion. yes they are reliable, and there is an abundance of spare parts (and cheap too) but something must be done about the driving experience. Toyota's marketing is top notch, and they do have a habit of releasing the right car at the right time but remember there are LOTS of good, if not better, alternatives out there. Again, Hyundai is on the right track. I admire the company's passion. They're not only focusing on reliability, but they're definitely doing something about how their cars feel when driven. The quality of materials, too, are top notch. It feels you're driving a much more expensive car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
