Looks good. After test driving the Genesis sedan I have a new outlook on the Korean makes. Hyundai is stepping up their game.

It's pretty good, but for some reason the front seems too big compared to the rest of the car

Looks fairly generic but still good. Hyundai is really stepping it up. I think we all forget that early on in the 70's most people didn't think much of Hondas either.
EDIT: Just looked at the price. For that money I don't think it's going to sell in the US or Canada.

Yeah right, as if any Lexus could ever look this interesting.
As far as Lexus being better built and more reliable... I don't even know about that. |

Headlights look like a mixture of the IS and the older model LS The front bumper reminds me of the stock LCI E90 front bumper The rear tail lights remind me of a mixture of the new Nissan Maxima and the new LS And the little thing sticking out of the hood... well iono what that is. lol |

IMO Hyundai's only real marketing strategy was offering cheaper versions of current luxury cars of similar quality. This model goes 100% against that.
Basically this model says to me: "Hey, lets make a copy of a well respected luxury sedan and then try to sell it for more... just for shitz n gigglz |

No thanks. I am sorry but if I am dropping those kind of bucks it better not say Hyundai anywhere....cut the price in half. Epic fail.

I was about to write that than I saw your post lol. I know Mercedes and a few others took off those "Stick Out" emblems cuz pple kept pulling them off lol. I think they should rethink that idea haha.

Looks better than a Lexus to me, though definitely "inspired" by the Japanese maker. In general, though, I don't think most of the Japanese manufacturers make interesting looking cars anymore –*especially Lexus.
$93k is steep for any car, no matter who makes it, so the kit would have to be exceptional. If Hyundai could introduce class-leading, first-to-industry luxury/safety gear, then they might just sell a few. But in the end, Americans don't buy range-complete lineups, so the thought of owning a $93k Hyundai when your neighbor can buy an $11k Accent will kill it. They'd need to introduce a new brand for the USA for sure.
