Essentially, a restyled Sonata, but a station wagon. Headed to NA, too.

I give it a B. Not really ugly but not particularly good looking. Solid Meh.

That's a BIG ass. Buffalo Butt

Wouldn't that be more of a C-ish grade?

I rather like it, its not bad.

The back hatch extending into the bumper is going to make for super-convenient cargo loading but super-pricey damage from a rear-ender.

They could have made the bumper cut around the hatch, but that wouldn't be as pretty.

That lowers the center part of the bumper, leading to the same problem -- the Honda Fit method.

I don't really believe in "D" grades, so a B is in the middle. Also the fact that it's another mainstream wagon helps it a little bit.

The Optima trunk has the same issue.

Otherwise, I really like the look of it. I hope it's not too expensive, and it sells well, since it would be nice if Hyundai could give Toyota and Honda a good smack for investing in the lardy Venza and Crosstour.

It's got a Seat minivan thing going on. Toledo or Altea, something like that.

I really like it. I'm super impressed with Hyundai lately.

Looks like the Euro Toyota Avensis Estate and the Renault Megane Estate had sex and forgot to use protection.

Jeez, you could've just said "had a baby."

I'm just happy to see another wagon on the market. I hope people buy these things and encourage more of them to be built by manufacturers.

SVT666 · February 18, 2011, 04:50:37 PM

I like it.

CJ · February 18, 2011, 08:04:07 PM

Looks more like an Elantra.

The way I phrased it, it's more DRAMATIC!

Gotta-Qik-C7 · February 19, 2011, 01:17:42 PM

I like the interior. How much will this thing cost?

Ghastly.

I don't hate it, which is saying a lot for a wagon coming from me.
