Just spotted at the base of the unusual control pedals, the detent action of them is that spring at the base?

No idea, I just know they are ugly and over-bling like the rest of the car. I'm sure they work fantastic, everything about the car does. I have a couple of good friends that get to drive them regularly.

Same here. Insane powerplant and interior quality but styling looks like Chinese knockoff Hummer.

Not gonna lie, you picked a really good photo of the Sonata, looks quite good here in my opinion. Also if this is your standard for ugliest car ever, what do you think of the Edsel, PT Cruiser, Multipla, Azetc, etc.

The Sonata bumped the Aztec, the PT is ugly as hell, but I respect what they tried to do with it. The Edsel is just a classic, so, I dont give it too much grief. The Multipla, just like posted, above, is pretty bad, of course, I've never seen a Maserati I liked, either.

At least it won't burn your house down and kill your family while it's parked in the never-ceasing vehicle recall line....

Hyundai recalling 500,000 POS's b/c they are likely to catch fire and a manufacturer telling their owners to park them outside is....criminal; yes, I mean criminal.

At a minimum the US DOT should bring a criminal lawsuit against this company for reckless endangerment of owners, structures, families, etc.

I forgot all about them suggesting people park them, outside. Thats crazy.

The MC20 is probably the only car I would even consider. The Gran Turismo is decent, but only because they finally keep attempting to update the interiors. They were still using the 123456789 buttons to dial the phone, until just recently.

I wouldn't go as far as say "hate," but I really don't care for Mercs especially AMGs. I've never driven one that didn't feel like a boat that's difficult to see out of. AMGs can corner if you force them to but they really don't want to. Very substantial but heavy and ponderous feeling cars.

I can appreciate them and think they make good class-competitive cars. I see the appeal they have to people, and I admire their history; but save for a red R107, I have zero desire to ever own a Mercedes Benz.

Audi, Tesla, Lexus are other luxury brands that most people like but I don't ever see myself behind the wheel of.

I agree. They tend to be incredibly dorky looking, their owners love to drive 65 in the left lane, and their cars are terribly unrefined and poor to drive. I had a Crosstrek rental a few months ago and despised every minute behind the wheel.

AWD + Japanese reliability is certainly appealing in its own right. They've marketed well to the outdoorsy granola types. I can appreciate how they've conducted themselves as a business. But otherwise they seem to irk me compared to Hondas Mazdas etc.

I'm a car enthusiast so i don't really "hate" any car. Plus usually the stereotype of certain cars isn't the fault of the car, it's the driver. So while some people might despise mustangs etc, it doesn't mean the car isn't good, just means the owners are fucking toolbags.

However there are some cars i find annoying because i feel like people buy them just because they THINK they're cool. (which again isn't the fault of the car).

The MB G wagons. Do not see the point in those things at all.

Anything convertible. Especially living in the northeast where you get maybe 3-4 months out of the year to enjoy them. Then when it is summer and i see a convertible car, the top is always up. It's not raining, it's not night time. Drop the top already. Tired of seeing convertibles by me lol.

Mini coopers. Again not the fault of the car but every single time i see one, it's always being driven by a fucking asshat who wants to go need for speed in rush hour traffic or it's some hippie with her whole house inside the car so she can't see out the rear view mirror, driving 20mph under the speed limit in the left lane.

Tesla bar none... lots of hype in the mags due to new tech and its backed by the worst fan base that refuses to back any of the truth up.

Bottom level reliability as well as build quality but I guess the owners of these cars deserve it since they seem to overlook what everyone spells out.
