2020 Hyundai Civic

They also have the Hyundai SUV that looks like the Jeep Cherokee and Nissan Juke put together

It seems they like to do that, take a successful design, chop it, combine it.
TO me it looks like Audi front Civic rear.

Generally speaking, all car manufacturers copy features and design elements from each other. It's been going on forever.

They definitely do copy each other’s tech and dimensions but the Civic taillights are super unique so by copying them it makes Hyundai look desperate. They should have more pride in their recent existing designs.

Yep. That’s Korean for you.

And what has your personal experiences been with Koreans?

Was in Seoul last week, saw this one in a dealership. Looks very good inside and out!

Here's also a quick look:

Looks pretty ugly tbh...

Nvm, Hyundai's designs have been on a downward spiral the last few years.

It looks whatever. At least it's different, I guess. I still think the Accord is the best looking entry in the segment.

Something is definitely up with Hyundai styling lately. The latest Elantra looks horrendous.

I dont like it.
The shape isn't bad. However, there are no polite words to describe how much I F'N hate chrome on a vehicle.
Unless it's a small amount on black. Chrome on black can be ok. Even then too much is a hard no.

What annoys me the most is the automotive journalists calling the design “beautiful, elegant” yet when it comes to the Civic (which has almost the exact same rear end, ESPECIALLY where the taillights are concerned), they call it overstyled.

Seriously, what the hell kind of logic is that?

The reason journalists call the Civic overstyled are the overly abundant creases and huge vents.

The overall look/shape is great IMO, but...

Honda wanted to erase the memory of the previous "blah" generation and went a bit overboard on the "sporty" styling.

Apparently Hyundai is also coming out with a Sonata "N" version of their car according to this article: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a26766576/hyundai-sonata-n-future-rendering/

Kinda surprised it has only 275 HP though, was expecting something 300+ since it's a midsize sedan and not a compact hatchback like the Veoster N. If the car looks anything like this though, it's pretty safe to say that it will not be a bad looking car at all imo.

It's 2019 now, maybe our Civic is now 'understyled'.
