"The specs look good, but everything else looks terrible. Kudos to Hyundai for designing two utterly unrefined grills, ripping off and cheapening BMW's tail lights and crafting an overall form that has the vibe of a 2008 Accord, but is just a tad uglier. The interior looks well-appointed, but... that center stack is just odd, the steering wheel is a mess, and I'm already getting nervous about where to keep the instruction manual for that knob behind the shifter."
