Looks more similar to the 5th generation than the 6th, but with much sleeker looks.  I think it's a good move.

I think it looks a hell of a lot like a Subaru Legacy.

The older, better looking Legacy that is.  ;)

Here's the answer to the Genesis lineage question. Looks like Hyundai might have committed to a brand aesthetic. Good for them, the world might now learn what a Hyundai is supposed to look like.

Having seen this in the flesh and spent some time behind the wheel, I look forward to feedback following the auto show debut next month  :)

I agree, I see some Genesis in there. Good move!

Agreed. Hyundai doesn't seem to mind borrowing design themes from other car companies.

While I agree in principle, this design was definitely created before the launch of the 2015 Legacy...unless there's Korean spies in Japan :O!!!
I feel like someone should make a movie out of this.

Spare me the teases.  If you've got something to show, show it.  Teases originate from marketing teams which have too much time on their hands.

Never mind the lingerie, just serve up the goods.

Cheers,
John M.

That's exactly what I thought.  It's a good mix of 5th and 6th, IMO.

While I agree that vehicle teases are irritating and useless, I do like lingerie.
