I know 90% people are going to say it's a Lexus knock off but I actually like the way Hyundai is going.

Spec 1 · 02-21-2009, 03:34 PM

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

TK-421 · 02-21-2009, 06:01 PM

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

warmtoes · 02-21-2009, 06:19 PM

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.

rcracer_tx · 02-21-2009, 06:23 PM

Is that an ls460 or a Hyundai? Will Hyundai ever design their own cars, or will they just rip off the competition forever

NewSong · 02-21-2009, 06:29 PM

Too much of a rip off. I give it a 0 out of 10.

Raja Ventureshield · 02-21-2009, 07:34 PM

suppose to be this 100k car? i doubt i will even give it a second look. sorry :-(

Fuck that... $93k for this piece of shit when you can get an LS460 for less that is, and is much better built and will be more reliable.

Epik · 02-21-2009, 08:46 PM

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.

TK-421 · 02-21-2009, 08:56 PM

Wow, I didn't even see the price. I thought it would be $40K-$50K?

FAIL

Look at any consumer report article on the top reliability cars...

And you have to be blind to not see how much of a ripoff this is of the LS460...

number335 · 02-21-2009, 09:20 PM

What the hell is Hyundai thinking trying to sell a 93k car?

Shazmonkee · 02-22-2009, 02:28 AM

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

aut0sh0cker · 02-22-2009, 02:51 AM

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

Burt Reynolds · 02-22-2009, 12:42 PM

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.

G5Ti · 02-22-2009, 04:30 PM

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.

The crease at the middle is very oddly placed.

a steal at 93k
