A LOT.
Very much has a funky 911/Panamera vibe to it.
They do have a few high profile employees from German automakers working for Hyundai these days don't they? The plaid in the interior is a pretty common VW hallmark too

I'd buy that and hoon it out of the driveway
because it's electric and doesn't need time to warm up. That's a reality I look forward to.
Looks like a cross between an Audi TT and a Model 3.
Loving the plaid. I was thinking it looked like if Tesla made a Tiburon.

I love the interior.
I liked the teaser shots a little better on the exterior.

What's that supposed to mean? ;)
In reply to STM317 :
Yep, and their boss is the guy at Tesla so it's why all their EVs seem to share so many design elements.
It's a good timeline when Plaid is coming back.
I really like this thing, inside and out. Well done Hyundai.

Not sure how those tail lights will pass US standard though. Seem a bit low.
wdit: forgot the whale tail lights too.
When you black out the windows most cars look 'cool'. It does look like a Mercedes CLS.
There is another car that has the full length swoop down, maybe it is a CLS too, can't place it.
Just delete the side view mirrors, door handles, window seals, and a few other practical essentials, and you too can create a cool looking car that will never be built.

Don't forget the Jelly Bean 96 Taurus..had a couple of them (SHO V8), if it were not so big I might still have one, although I look for them still, seem to have all but disappeared now.

I believe you are correct. The only interior I like more than the VW plaid is the old school BMW Houndstooth.

It looks like a 996 to me. More than anything else, it's a narrow body 996.
Fortunately, I like the 996.
It is indeed a Mercedes CLS55 with the drooping rear, ran acrross this AMG for sale with 540hp supercharged v8 for sale $10k. .
