No way... Look at the front headlamps and grilles. They're way too curved and exaggerated to be compared to the German or other European makes.

This car is one that I will firmly deny that was copied from other design.

@MrVnick1

I agree.  Two years ago, I would never have given a Hyundai a second thought. Last week I bought a 2012 Sonata as a daily driver. I really like it.

@BodyArtist75 Well Ford has a crappy bad history cars burning out of the blue, shitty recycled shit, same with GM and now the Japanese quality deteriorating... Hyundai fastest growing car company on planet earth, 4th largest car company on planet earth... still selling cars like hot cakes... should they change logo? :D

[biyorkman]

It was announced that the U.S. road traffic safe office (NHTSA) will be recalled by the defect of * handle equipment on the 26th about 139,500 2011 type sonatas produced at the Hyundai factory in Alabama, U.S. (local time).

All the produced cars have been applicable from December 11, last year to September 10, this year, and this hits all the new style sonatas produced in the U.S.

* A defect like the conte that a handle can be taken during a "defective of handle equipment" -> run

People talk about Hyundai and kia as if they are a little shit brand just starting to rise up in the market. As you all know Hyundai and Kia is the same company, being the 5th biggest automaker which means that It is larger than most Japanese brands like Honda, Nissan and Mazda only Toyota is the one that is bigger than Hyundai and Kia.
