Wow, so I say something looks alike and you feel the need to defend a car? Do you always take stuff like this personal? When did I even say it was a bad thing?

Do you even know what you're talking about? All I can see is a bunch of Hyundai bashing with no basis whatsoever. As far as I can see, the details are completely original although the general shape is definitely derived from the CLS. Using your logic, everything is a ripoff of everything else.
If anything the front lights look like those from the Legacy and the tails from Hyundai's own Genesis Coupe, just stretched a lot. The grill looks like an extremely stylized version of the one on the Genesis. Using my logic, Hyundai has been quite good at sticking with a design language that's completely original to the company.
i was just going to try and find some comparison photos but u did all the work for me, nice.
anyway, u say the side mirrors look like? please tell me how, they are around, in the same area of the car, have a turn signal light on it. how different do u want side mirrors to look, nub
how are side profiles supposed to look? its a sedan, the side will show the fender, the roofline, the 2 doors, and the trunk area. all will generally look the same.
the car looks all good and fine to me, i'd check it out when looking for a car in that segment

Overall a nice design, what's up with the speedo going to 240 mph, LOL. By going that high you give up resolution at lower speeds (one which the sonata will be driving)..
Probably KPH.

Japanese, are you watching? Koreans about to eat your lunch again, like they did in every other industry where you got complacent and sat on your laurels.

More like eating Americans lunch. Hyundai is at 1-2% marketshare and climbing at the expense of the domestics.
