True but nobody copps a Sonata for performance. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but Hyundai is using the World Engine still (co-produce byMitsubishi)? If so that's the same engine that powers the Eclipse, it's a 3.8L v6 that gives you 263hp, not bad for a car in the mid 20s. Although ifyou need more, just reup to the Genesis, 290hp v6 or 375hp v8.

Hyundai has no brand identity.
I retract my statement. Hyundai has begun to brand themselves as the company that sells cheaper imitations of top selling vehicles.
The "I can't afford car X, but I want to look like I can afford car X" is their target consumer. J/k
But in all seriousness, Hyundai really seems to adopting this philosophy: If you can't beat them, copy them.
What will they copy next?

Why do people say the Genesis coupe resembles the G35/G37 coupe? They look nothing alike.

Hyundai has stepped their game up the past few years. The current model Sonata drives better than my boys CTS, it looks pretty nice IMO, has a great warranty,and is affordable. This one looks great IMO and if the situation present itself, I'd get this over an Altima or Camry (and I like the Camry)

For such a nice looking car outside, the Camry has such an outdated interior. Its downright boring and the weakest out of its competitors.

cosign JD617. my friend drives an accent its GARBAGE. The interior is what-the-eff cheap like wow.
Besides the fact that the CC and CLS are both 4 door coupes, there's nothing similar between the two.. like are you serious?
and 10 peice you clearly have affection for hyundai and it beats me why the hell you would, but if you don't think the rear end is g35/altima coupe"inspired" then youre in denial lol that is all.
bottom line is, the new sonata is a camry solara front end + a4 rear end. sigh hyundai.

Just talking about the Accent part... Come on man, it's an Accent. What do you expect from a car that starts new at under $10K... Really cheapcar = cheap interior for sure.

Keep in mind ex Audi design head Peter Schreyer, the visionary behind the cult Audi TT and VW New Beetle, is now chief designer at Hyundai/Kia. The archingroofline is the same as the CLS and CC
