I'm assuming it was the grille.

I don't see it.

Sticks out too far to resemble an Audi and head and tail lights aren't Audi either. Also the car has almost no resemblance to Audi designs.

We're talking about my brother who knows no cars unless it's a Chevy.

the front grille is a pastiche of the current audi shield. It isn't that ridiculous of a mistake. Hyundai has yet to come up with their own design language.

You mentioned something about the grille and I got carried away. Sorry but not sorry.

Jaguar headlights, Infiniti Tailights, BMW roofline, Audi grill, Bentley side panels.

Also, I love how badly computer-rendered this background is. It's like a PS2 game.

I'd say Hyundai has very much developed its own design language, starting with the current-gen Sonata, to the Veloster, through to the new Azera. The above Genesis does imitate some Germanic luxury forms, but it's nowhere near the level of copy-paste that was happening at Hyundai just a few years ago.

I'm not sure whether to be offended or flattered, because I do find the new Genesis to be a handsome SOB.

BTW wasn't your brother on here at one point for, like, 20 minutes?

Nothing about this car looks like an Audi. With the notable exception of the A5 and A7 which are just beautiful inside and out, Audi's are visually plain and boring as hell to look at just like their downmarket VW brethren. Hyundai's have far more interesting sheetmetal
