Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Not even close, Spheric.  Other than the fact that they are both cars, I don't see the resemblance.  Now the Camry and the Cadenza, that I can see.

As to the resemblance issue:  Most cars today within a given class are tending towards a rather standardized look.  Who copied whom?  Can it be determined definitively?  Does it really matter?  The answer in both cases is:  "not really". Roll Eyes

I think it does. I think each manufacture should make their cars look different. Otherwise whats the point. It is liking going to a party and everyone wearing the same outfit. Anyway However in this case it does look different.

It does not resemble anything on the road IMO. It'd be surprising if it did since it was designed (reportedly) by Peter Shryder, the guy behind TT.
Shame it is a FWD, but the car looks upscale and something you wouldn't expect from Kia even 2 years ago. Hope it will come with 2.4 or 3.5 (option) DI engines and of course 6spd auto.

It looks great and doesn't resemble that picture that Spheric posted at all.

Very surprised at how quickly Kia has managed to put out a few really good looking vehicles.

I don't see any Camry in this car at all, maybe a weannie bit of Accord in the front end.  Nice car, and yes Kia is on fire with their designs, good on them.
