Sideways white picket for me, too. The alternative looks far too cheap and gaudy.

Sideways picket if i had to choose between the two. Isnt there a third option? It doesent matter, because the aftermarket will have every sort of chromed-out mesh bently wanna be replacements within a month.

sideways white-picket - because JAWS was the daddy

that's pretty quiet for a V8 - more sales please :]

when you get some hi-pass pipes it's gonna be loud :]

we got enough room in there for a turbo? nitrous?

I didn't even notice the grill. I just kept thinking Lexus GS knock off.

The sideways picket has the highest potential for making children cry.

The sideways picket is a reminder that different isn't always good. Although, the grille should really be a bust of Phil Collins.

For lake of anything better, sideways picket.

These cars look the way the Sebring should have looked.

the chain one would look slick if it were in satin and delete that mini honeycomb that the logo has, they should make it a continuation of the big one they got going on already. but then the picket one looks more up sophisticated and compliments the front fascia more, only id still rather have it in satin. and i agree with CSM TECH they should place a lil "H" where it forms a "V"

I apologize, "unscale" should have been "upscale".

Side-ways Picket 100%! Not only does it remove the look of plastic (never good when aiming for an unscale market), but it's something different for Hyundai. I do think the color could be changed so the the entire grill is chrome, or something a little less stark against the car color. I agree with others on the emblem. I personally think that the little "V" where the grill meets the hood would be an ideal location for a smaller "H". I think that the chain-link look lends not only to a cheaper feel, but it's been done so much it's dime-a-dozen and boring, unoriginial, and certainly not something for a car aimed at the upscale market. Just my ten cents.

Latest scoop is that the UK isn't getting the Genesis saloon. I'm quite disappointed.

Fer shore everyone. Forget the drugs or counting sheep, the next time I'm having trouble falling asleep I'm just going to play this video. If you could only put this in a bottle. I hope the car is more inspiring in person.

Yes...the video left me less excited about the cars also. Blah. Lets see some of that v8 torque put one sideways!

My vote is for sideways, white picket, as someone already said, looks more menacing...chainlink/honeycomb reminds me too much of Pontiac.

That video was narcolepsy-inspiring. *yawn*

For the record, my vote is for the chain-link/honeycomb look grille. And the tail looks Infiniti-esque.

Sideways white picket looks much more upscale.

sideways picket. Though with the white-delete option checked - it's just too... white.

not sure which is supposed to be which, but the darkest grey of the 3 seemed to be the only one that didn't look like it had a gap in its front teeth...the other 2 look like they need braces

Sideways white picket looks better and more upscale, but it needs a Hyundai logo somewhere, otherwise it looks like some generic car that could be from China for all we know. The chain link grill makes it look too much like a Sonata, but at least it is identifiably Hyundai.

I created a user account just so I could comment on this. I am really excited about this car (Cheap V8's!!!!!)

That said, I was dumfounded by that sideways grill. It is attrocious to the point of rendering the car, much like a gently used automatic Maserati Bi-turbo, unsaleable.

The chainlink one isn't great, but obviously I prefer it.

'Sideways white-picket' if those are the choices. There's just nothing special about the other one other than looking exceptionally cheap. And yeah... where are the power slides?

Chainlink for me. Sideways white picket looks like fishbones.

No one video has ever done more to dull my excitement for a vehicle I'm very excited about than that one.

Can we please, please see some melting Kumhos?
