^^^ It's amazing how quickly tech trickles down.

I wonder when naming your "design language" became a thing. Heck, when did design "language" become a thing? "Sensuous sportiness?" Please.

Wow Hyundai has really packed an incredible amount of stuff into this car. Some features that were only available on cars like the A7, A8 etc are now available in a Sonata

Good work, Hyundai! And that car looks amazing in red from the front!

Darn Hyundai is on a roll!

I'm digging the wheels and blacked out grille and side mirrors of the turbo model. I'd almost always pass on red for a midsize sedan, but I think it looks pretty sharp here.

It's nice...but the chrome/white eye liner throws it off....and doesn't match well IMO. Unless the white is supposed to be a representation of LED running lights?

Would be better body colored on the sport model IMO.

Am I the only one who thinks the front end looks off? The droopy look with the hood strikes just doesn't appeal to me.

It looks stunning from the front and from a higher angle. Like the pic of the red one in the car and driver article. Not so stunning from a lower front angle, where the "droop" is more evident. Overall though, this is a fantastic job.

You are one smart person

Yikes. Yeah, that angle is not great.

maybe it's just me, but i like the clean line of the hood coming all the way to the front...i know most don't do it this way, but i find the "normal" way looks odd on some vehicles.

Looks better than the Accord's front end.

In both cases, nothing a front license plate won't cure

By far.

Yuck! Easy on the eyes if you like cars with terrible proportions. They'll sell many to Avis and Hertz like most other Hyundai sedans.

Agreed. Still wouldn't stop me from buying one.

I don't necessarily disagree with OntarioDriver.

It has a little of the Bangle Era BMW's from the front, which wasn't a great look. I think it's because the front is droopy.

I like droopy front ends.
