Looks like someone mated a Hyundai Tiburon with a last-gen Ford Taurus. I'd pass.

At this point, every last bit of the french curve has been exploited. Designers are running out of ideas in the "appeal to the masses" camp, and few are willing to really go outside the box...so we have this. I'm sure adjectives like "refined" are in the literature.

I hate this new design. Porsche first used it with the Panamera and I couldn't stand that either.

It looks better than the original one, but who cares how it looks? It'll go so fast people will just see a blur anyway.

I don't really like it, but I'm not concerned enough about my opinion on it to make a thread about it.

Exactly. I have a 2 door Civic. Had one of those new Kia's pull up next to me at a stoplight the other day. It was the first one I had seen so I was wondering what kind it was. When he pulled out and I saw the KIA on the back I was surprised....in a good way.

The side view is nice, but all the other shots would look much better on a coupe.
