There is no design prowess in Hyundai's entire lineup

...and the people who drive them have no sense of aesthetic.

Ok I know this seems like a shitpost and I'll get what I get for it, but it perplexes me how Hyundai over the last decade has managed to get away with blatantly thieving the design standards of every other automaker. I saw a truck the other day, thinking hey its maybe the new Ford Escape. Nope, just another Hyundai.

Over the years I've mistaken Hyundai's for Mercedes, Toyota, Mazda, the only totally original design I've seen has been the Veloster, and that just seems like a more streamlined Focus. I saw a Genesis ad for a G80, looks like a Volvo front, Lincoln rear, and has the side profile of a pine derby racer. And WTH is a Palisade?

I'm out.

Some of their designs are pretty stupid too like moving the signal lights to the bumper which is hard to see.

Most auto makers take design elements from others none is truly unique.

Only to a very certain extent, and usually due to safety standards. But I'm not talking about rolled fender type design elements. A Merc pretty clearly has a Mercedes pedigree. Same with BMW, Mazda, you know what they are when you see them.

This !! I think it started with the Kia Forte? Such terrible design. I noticed some Toyota models copied this design too which makes it very hard to see if you drive a larger SUV or truck.

I would argue that if you drive a larger SUV it is too bad for you.

Ha, anybody remember back in late 90's/early 2000's, Hyundai cars are literally copies of previous gen Camry/Corolla?

Maybe you should stop trying to pick me up from school so you can showoff your Hyundai. It's embarrassing, uncle "Speedy".
