Somehow this car does not look right to me. As if somebody cut away part of the hood and put it in at the trunk.
The car looks fine. Looks like you’ve been looking at crap China styling too long.
I agree. It looks like Hyundai are mucking about with Chrysler’s old “cab forward” look.
I think it looks effin hot…tho i would personally pass on the canary yellow paint job. Ferrari Modena 360 in yellow, yes, the Verna, no. Great job Hyundai, really feelin this new aggressive and youthful design language..
