Default Sonata...Not the first time...

This isn't the first time that Hyundai has stolen the look of an Accord. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, may I please present to you Item #225,000,000,000,000,000,000, the 1992 Hyundai Sonata.



And Item #1, the 1992 Honda Accord



Bas***ds switched the turn signal with the brake light and thought they were sneaky.

And don't think they stopped at Honda. Oh, heavens no, that would be a sin. [sm=sigh.gif]They've even started copying Toyota.

Toyota Altis



2007 Hyundai Elantra

I've seen that a couple of times.... There is another example of similar stuff they've done.... it's kind of funny that they don't get into trouble for it....

Well, they can't. I'm sure that they get yelled at by Honda and Toyota and other companies, but there's nothing thatthey can do about it. All they have to do is change the lights a little bit or change something small about the car, slap their name on it, and then put it on the market.

You know what, Hyundai is really starting to **** me off. Now, after Honda has come out with the Fit, their first small hatchback, Hyundai is coming out with their first, too.

Honda Fit



Hyundai i30

Why is everyone hating on Hyundai? Its not like auto manufacturers havent been stealing design cues and engineering ideas from each other for years. And Hyundais sell pretty darn well, so apparently they are doing something right. They actually make a pretty good car.

I know poser, and I agree with you on the fact that they have been stealing ideas from each other all along, but it's just the fact that they do it way too much that makes me kind of mad. And I'm not doubting that they make a good car, I'm just saying that they should at least try and make and sell that good car by themselves instead of looking at other companies to steal their ideas and designs so often.

I mean, look at all these examples again. They did the same switcharoo with the lights on the Hyundai Entourage like they did with the 1992 Accord.

Kia Sedona



Hyundai Entourage



I have to go eat dinner, I'll be back in a minute, but I've got more examples.
