Admit it. It looks good.
Didn't Hyundai hire a bunch of 2000s era Audi designers years ago?
>>28731198Sounds like a great choice if true
not a fan of the exhaust tips but other than that it looks pretty slick. also a warning that there is one turbo autist on here that spergs out everytime someone mentions korean cars and will absolutely destroy this thread with his shitposts when he sees it.
>>28731198Both Kia and Hyundai are using the same german consultants.
looks good but also looks BIG
Never liked hyundai/kia for the longest time but these things are cool
>>28731195Looks like a Mopar for some reason.
>>28731198>>28731266yes since 2008. Kia, Hyundai, and Chinese carmakers are still poaching German engineers, designers, and the like — and it looks like they’ll keep doing it forever.
Here's the Genesis x gran coupe
>>28731195I'm just glad someone is making a station wagon again.
>>28731195It just looks fuck huge but its beautiful and has a v8 apparently. Its a winning formula
Looks like Fat Batman's grocery-getter.
>>28731249>>28731195Not keen on the headlights, but otherwise it looks pretty nice. Much better than the Elantra.
>>28731195That "lip spoiler" aught to be there on the sedan but looks out of place on the wagon because it isn't even trying to be a cam back, the lines should of flowed around to make a flat belt.
>>28731195That is a sexy ass, damn. And a great colour.
>>28731400>kammbackyeah if that lip was the at the bottom of the rear window of a kammback it would fit.
>>28731405Move the d pillar back a bit
>>28731195I like it except for the wide body front fenders having a giant gap between them and the front doors
>>28731409even found space to put back the rear "visor"
>>28731400nu-hyundai center spoilers look like shit on sedans too
I like wagons but they need something more classy and boxy. This is busy and inelegant. I do think luxury sedans make much more sense as wagons and hatchbacks now.
What are the chances this >>28731195Or this >>28731334Ever actually come out? Or at least launch as anything other than an anemic i4 turbo with neutered design?
>>28731198The head of design for both Hyundai and Genesis has been SangYup Lee. He's the guy known for designing the Camaro and the stingray corvette that the current C8 corvette draws from and more recently the guy behind the 'DNA' of Hyundai and the Genesis brands. There were euro guys back in the days but they had left the company after SangYup joined the Hyundai group in 2016 and eventually took over the design studios.
>>28731645To add to this, when SYL first came on board he shaped the designs of Genesis we know today - the dual lights and chiseled grill and swept backs. The G90 Shooting Brake concept is a continuation of this design. The reason why some say they poached euro designers is because they had hired SYL's former teammate when they were both doing work for VW/Bentely/Lamborghini - Luc Donckerwolke. Luc actually left Hyundai shortly after SYL started wining industry awards as SYL was clearly the talent needed to drive the brand forward. >>28731296>>28731249see >>28731645
>>28731645>>28731656koreans have so much more sovl than japgooks lol jap cars are ugly as fuck
>>28731195love it
>>28731574They are highly likely to come out. The last 'concept' version shown a few months ago in Korea was basically a production ready version when people at the show inspected it up close. There were no fake parts, blocked off grills, actual emissions control apparatus was installed, etc. It was a fully functional car that they drove into the show which means they are planning on a production run. The only outstanding question is which markets will get it. Genesis doesn't sell the numbers that the other incumbent luxury brands do, they are still in the growing phase, thus they most likely will limit it to select markets.
>>28731400>looks out of place on the wagonGotta be some Windtunnel-backed data to substantiate it, otherwise management would have shitcanned it.That's gotta represent at least a few hundred USD in cost, per unit..which is significant.
>>28731565https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhKsm29AD2Q
>take a sports coupe>nerf it>make it a C(uck)UV>gimp the engine and transWe brought the Genesis back!
>>28731826but thats not what they did at all.
>>28731823The thing is most (if not all) electric cars can't do a full lap of the ring without running out of power, over heating, or having to drive at a efficient speed (aka, slow). The IONIQ 5 N did two laps with no issues. This is a stock car that an actual random customer bought and not a factory supported car either. Pretty impressive.
>>28731852>The IONIQ 5 N did two laps with no issues. This is a stock carYep.Misha even remarked upon this, iirc.
>>28731826Is this bait or are you retarded? That's a hatchback
>>28731817I don't know if it will come to the states. If the Hyundai factory that was planned to be built in Georgia wasn't raided by law enforcement, our relationship with Hyundai is shaky at the moment. What a shame, it would have been a great opportunity to bring more car manufacturing back to the states.
>>28732151gooks were getting smooshed in machinery. no one would have known about the 400 illegal aliens there if it weren't for OSHA
>>28732275None of them were illegal aliens, it's more complex than that. The workers arrested were technicians, engineers, operators etc. Unfortunately we have to bring them here, there are very few Americans with the know how to create and operate these plants, we need them to teach us. They were here under ESTA since the L1 visas that would be ideal are very difficult to obtain, and have a decent chance of denial. For this reason ESTA waivers have been used like this for decades by many companies (Honda for example). The government has been aware of this, but now it's an issue? It's clear the raid was done as a publicity stunt, it all started because a politician reported the plant to boost her campaign.
>>28732362>the government has been doing this for decades but now it's an issue?this is a very bad line of reasoning
I will never forgive genesis for not bringing the G70 wagon to the US
nope. korean cars a shit. full stop.
>>28731195>>28732391This is ugly as fuck THOUGHwagons are so fucking frumpy godsDAMN
>>28731740Both nations' cars are ugly as fuck
>>28732391This is because Americans are too retarded for wagons. Case in point... >>28732401
>>28731823Ioniq 5 doesn't have the doofy looking mid-lip spoileractually looks quite good imo
>>28732405Japanese cars are an order of magnitude uglier than Korean cars today. They weren't always, but the combination of Japanese companies completely shitting the bed and Koreans hiring competent designers and letting them take risks has built a gulf of a gap. Too bad about the actual engineering
>>28732389To be fair, I don't disagree with the reason for the government doing this. The law should have been handled long ago, Hyundai isn't innocent either. But the raid doesn't address this, that wasn't it's intention in the first place.
>>28731195
In isolation it looks nice...but it also looks fuckhuge. Cars are getting so fat and we buy into them with these photos lacking a sense of scale. Cars this size just don't excite me, regardless of the power and tech they may have. Scale down to 80% and I'm into it.
>>28734285>Cars are getting so fat and we buy into them with these photos lacking a sense of scale.Yeah this is technically a bigger g90, absolutely enormous but it's the kind of car that should be enormous. Think s class wagon
>>28734285The size isn't out of place, it's a luxury hatch after all. Unfortunately it seems like there is no longer any love for small cars anymore, the Honda fit was discontinued years ago. Buying new cars is for parents and old people.
>>28731565PFFBFBFBFBFlol what?
>>28734826Holly Jesus, what is that, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!
>>28731249Looks like the bloated carcass of a large channel catfish pulled from an industrial waste dump site
>>28734829That's not even the bad one.
>>28734835good job giving away that you're triggered by their objectively good looking design.
>>28732530Let's be honest, the real reason is because Elon slipped Trump a few bucks
>>28731565Holy shit, that is one ugly fucking car.
>>28734838This only seems to be the bad bit.
>>28732362>Unfortunately we have to bring them here, there are very few Americans with the know how to create and operate these plants, we need them to teach us. Or what, their cars WON'T self ignite and cause yet another hyundai/ kia non impact fire recall? Such a horror.
>>28731817>>28732391Those dual bar headlights look at LOT better on the new models than they did before.
They need to have an option for rear facing kid seats in the back. I have a Tour X wagon and have to jam my three kids in the backseat. If they could spread out a little and one or two could sit in the very back like the old wagons it would be perfect. My friend’s mother had it in her Volvo when we were kids and we loved sitting back there making faces at drivers behind us at red lights.
>>28731195Korean cars generally look pretty good its too bad they explode when they hit 100,000 miles. BMW should hire whoever is doing the styling
>>28731195It's a wagon. It's a squished minivan.
>>28735177kek, I wouldn't be surprised
>>28731410nah that looks cool
>>28737628On a purpose built racecar, yes. Here it looks like a base model car where someone stuck the high performance model's front clip on but didn't bother with anything behind the front fenders because that's difficult.
>>28731195GG
>>28731195The paint is great, the wheels are pretty good, and everything else is hot garbage
>>28737657The Genesis is done properly and the massive vent looks cool
I thought one of these was a Porsche 911 from a distance. I have since updated my glasses prescription.
>>28739531That's clearly a Mercedes CLS
>>28737657But the Genesis does have wide rear fenders too?
>>28739535then they could have made the driver door line up better instead of leaving the not widebody door on it too
>>28739647That's a deliberate choice to have the cool side vents, retard
>>28739718not cool if it's ugly and looks like a honda ricer slapped it on in their apartment parking lot, retard
>>28739531why the fuck doe the line from the bumper join split for the spoiler and tail light bar?>>28735466No wonder I thought it looked cut out.
>>28735466That's an entirely different problem that starts at the front of the car.
>>28740403Use bezier curvesmight have to overlay ellipses for consistent lines
>>28740635that's a lot more work than hitting the snipping tool hotkey, drawing a squiggly line with my mouse, and pasting the image into my post
>>28740638>snipping tool shortcut>open paint.net>paste, expand canvas>edit>copy merged>paste in post with chanxYes a bit more but I got the workflow figured out.
okay time for scitzo circles
>>28740647yeah I'm not doing all that just to make fun of the hyundai bananamobile
I am
>>28731195looks good>conceptok so we can kiss those flared fenders goodbye and say hello to poverty spec plastic liners when it actually drops
>>28731195>>28731249It looks like fucking shit, but it's still better than modern MB/BMW designs
