Hyundai has stolen the Camry's design - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hyundai is making what is to be thier first luxury car and on the outside it looks extremely similar to the Camry. I this is almost an exact clone of the Camry, all they need to do is move the "H" up a bit and it would be identical to the Camry.

Vaguely similar to the Camry, but the roofline is more sloping, and the rear has a very BMW (Bangle-butt) look to it.

The headlight are the only part that really scream "Camry" to me. . .

great

first they copied the accord, now the camry.....

^I was gonna say - isn't that Hyundai's MO? Offer a similar design to today's top selling cars, but do it cheaper. Kinda like the Wal-mart of the vehicle world (maybe more like Kmart).....

The grille looks like they just picked it right off the poor camry!

Front and even side profile look directly from the Camry. Rear is a mix of the new BMW's and the current Hyundai Azera.

I thought the Azera was Hyundai's flagship luxury car...I guess they want to top it? Or is this an entirely new luxury brand? So is this replacing or going to be positioned above the Azera? From what I heard the Azera is doing good and its competative among the full-sized sedans. Even if they want to top the Azera I think they are making a mistake putting it under the Hyundai name plate, in otherwords they should make another division, reason is I think it will overlap too much sort of like VW's unsuccessful Pheaton (sp) which was way overpriced for a VW that is, but that's another thread. Anyway I'm confused!

The front kind of looks like the Chrysler Nassau concept.

Copying off a Camry - Hyundai has good taste. Anyway, that's just probably a concept car.

^ lol! you got a good deal on it. it's nicely equipped =]. Don't let people hate on Hyundai, the company is just learning from Toyota and Honda, and they are making good quality, reliable cars!

I wonder if those oversize wheels will come stock lol.

Actually, all new cars pretty much look the same...
