So let me ask this, why hasn't all the companies they 'talents' were pinched from, slowing down in their designs but are in fact becoming better at it? Kinda makes you want to question who they actually pinched doesn't it?

If it looks like this, powered with a V8 engine and priced the same as the camry, this could be a winner. This is just a concept, from what I see, Hyundai will surely play safe and the final product will be a lot toned down from the original concept car. Just look at the FD concept which in the end turns out to be i30 with a lot of ganas styling removed. I think this is the actual prototype in testing: <a href="http://forums.thecarfanatics.com/index.php?s=638e0f2aeb7abc6ac08ebacbb26411cc&showtopic=3778&pid=32087&st=0&#entry32087" rel="nofollow">http://forums.thecarfanatics.com/index.php?s=638e...</a> Whatever it comes in the end.

Another company, Kia is doing the same. So resemblance in design is incidental. After all this is still a concept. Hyundai has pinched top people from various companies to compete.

This is still a concept sketch, might take a year or 2 to materialise. When will it come to Malaysia? maybe add another 3-5 years. We can't even get the new Santa Fe which is already selling in Singapore and Brunei.

Hundreds of sketches and concepts are unveiled each year, and as time goes by, there will not be a pure original car design. Of course when a new car comes out, people would refer its design to some other cars. As like what I said a number of times, where got pure 'originality' in car design nowadays?

Nice to meet u all. By look at the sketches, I really like the design. But I'm not agree that the design were copied from others different car. Have to know that copy different car design, then combine it and finally have to modify the overall design to make sure all designs were tally to each other is a quite tough job rather than design the all new appearance.
