The front looks like a bad rip-off from a B6 A4 sedan

 

word!
but this car is nice!

 

I don't really see the Accord in it.
The roof and C pillars are like the 1996-2002 A4, and the tails are rather new? I mean, rectables are old, but the angle, size, etc. doesnt ring any bells. I kinda like it!

 

to me it looks like an accord, 3 series, a4 smashed into one

 

well.... compare Kia Sorento and MB ML350... don't they look alike? but the Sorento is an earlier model.

it's not always companies like Hyundai that tries to assimilate other designs...
Toyota Corolla and VW Jetta look similar for that matter!

 

Honda will run over this car , anytime

 

It will take little more time for Korean car companies to catch up with Japanese.
Think about japanese cars 15years ago. They were considered as junks.

not that korean cars are bad right now tho.
I was back in Korea for a year, and I was really suprised by racing scenes and hardcore tunings done to Korean cars.
You never know till you actually experience it.

 

Hyundai has come a long way since the introduction of the excel. This car looks surprisingly nice.

 

it's a Hyundai enough said.

 

I understand what you are saying, but you would have to go back a little further than 15 years (more like 25-30) to have heard that opinion about a Japanese car. The NSX was certainly not considered junk when it was introduced 15 years ago...
