Wow. I mean, there's stylistic similarities, and then there's cheap Chinese knock-off levels of copying. Even the DRLs look downright identical.

What the hell Hyundai? I liked the look of your new Genesis. There was some derivative design cues about it, but all in all, it was an attractive looking vehicle that I wouldn't have mistaken for anything else.

This is just...lazy.

Oh how the mighty have fallen ... they used to rip off Mercedes designs.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > spanfucker retire bitch 05/29/2014 at 13:32

Yeah I thought Hyundai, and Kia were done ripping of designs.

... or badge engineering. They might have a hole in their lineup in another country (China?), and platform-sharing a Buick there may be the easiest path to build name recognition and make some sweet, sweet profits.

I suspect this is just for the Chinese market, so it's not surprising.

Not according to the links that I followed in the OP. It's based on the Azera platform, apparently. No badge engineering.

Probably more so with the facelifted Insignia.

It's very close indeed.
