Am i the only one who's feeling like "hm...meh"?

Indeed imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The way I see it, we drive an EMINEM and Hyundai came up with MGK. lol just kidding. but seriously general consumers will just choose to buy or lease the car they like at the price they are happy to afford. Not sure why civic owners should fuzz over it..

On a side note...anyone find the interior looks like a combination of 2019 JETTA and MAZDA3?

Huh... copying what, IMO, is the Civics least flattering angle. Sounds about right...

Hyundai hasn't had an original thought for years now. Not hating, just stating fact.

That being said, that interior is very G70-like. Cool to see them filter their Genesis design down to Hyundai so quickly.

Glad i'm not the only one that saw the similarity. Rest of the car looks decent... as soon as i got to photos of the rear i was like... that looks like an upside down civic coupe... lol

Hyundai will forever be tainted and junkie for me, as I'm old enough to remember this travesty put upon a family member...

The Koreans are good at copying.. Samsung vs Apple anyone? Hyundai also copied the headlight design from the Jeep Cherokee:

Not as bad as Nissan's blatant copy of the 2018 Accord interior:

Doesn’t this Toyota Corolla look like a mustang ? auto manufacturers copy off of each other. is it right? Yes to a point if the auto designers are trying to copy a supercar like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.but taillights?
No they should come up with their own design! Btw every suv looks the same A Box On Wheels

It's cheaper for them to tweak a design than to start one from scratch through research and development

Hyundai/Kia have never had an original design feature... That I know of.

Same with the trucks in todays day and age, they are all starting to look very similar. Not sure which is what anymore from a distance

I'm with the Hyundai/Kia copy everything camp. How many of their hoods and grills are straight copies of Mercedes?
Right. I need to get within a few feet to notice a Genesis is not a Mercedes, either end

I don't think thats copying. That's just the style manufacturers are going for these days. Look at the Corolla interior with the same kind of infotainment layout:

Although I will say that Hyundai has a serious problem with copying other cars. Look at this comparison between the first gen Hyundai Genesis and a 2007-2013 era Mercedes S-Class:

Maybe, although the 2018 Camry interior at least looks different than the Accord:
