So, /o/. Are they doing it right? They hired the head designers of Audi for this line.
Will you ever love Genesis? She's trying really hard.
I like it. They are getting more restrained.
Colour choice was a bit unfortunate
Hyundai and sister company Kia have been home to one of the auto industry’s finest designers, Peter Schreyer, for many years and recently picked up Luc Donckerwolke from Bentley to succeed Schreyer as head of design for the corporation. And at Hyundai Design North America, Chris Chapman is Hyundai’s chief designer, the man chiefly responsible for pushing the concept and eventual production BMW X3, X5 and Z4 models while a key player at BMW Group’s DesignworksUSA in California before heading up new vehicle and concept design at Hyundai N.A. in 2012.
I asked Chapman about the New York’s guiding principle.
"What you see must feel natural, pure and at ease in it’s own skin," Chapman says. "Everything must instinctually be in the right place, and that begins with proportions. Highly complex or intellectual design doesn’t normally work to most eyes. If it looks and feels natural, you know the design team has taken the time to cook it properly."

You could get a Subaru BRZ for $25,395 or a V6 Mustang for $24,145.
>Genesis Sedan
>$38,750
You could get a Maxima for $32,510, or an Avalon for $32,650.
I don't care who they hired to design the exterior, that's not going to change the fact that they're selling cars with Chinese build quality and reliability. Trying to charge more money for an inferior product is nonsense.

gettin real tired of this trend

Chinese build quality just isn't true. Maybe 15 years who but not today. Hyundai has stepped their game up tremendously.
The only weak spots in the Hyundai lineup right now are the Genesis coupe, which is just old, and the Veloster, which is just underpowered.
