Hyundai is writing their own strategy now and not following Toyota Business Model.
Family sedan from that model are meant to be conservative and to be volume leader for platform-sharing.
The Camry platform ends up in Avalon; ES 350; and RX 350 (and maybe others).  They do not want
Camry encroaching ES 350 territory.  In my view this does family sedan shopper a disservice.
Honda follows Toyota with Accord & TL. (or euro Accord & TSX).  Thankyou Hyundai for breaking away.

Seriously, if you're going to do an article on design, at least take some proper photos of the car.  Or get a professional to do it for you...  ;)


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...
