The Klingon forehead grill is not right at all. The one they used in the Superbowl ads was much better.

@TriShield: What HS kid drives a full-size faux luxo-barge? I seriously doubt that the teenage Sport Compact crowd would touch this thing.

@SRekauqh: No, not as ugly as a BMW; but it's trying.

Or for those who want to feel like they're on the crowded streets of Korea on the way to pick up some fresh meat from the market.

It doesn't have mullet cachet, it has high school kid with asian stickers and fart can on the car cachet.

Beware the Jaguwerk, my son
The tires that bite, the gears that catch
Beware the LexuBenz, and shun
The frumious Bentleysnatch!

Aside from the obvious Infiniti/BMW cues it's a pleasantly bland Q-ship. For those who Hemi-style power and chassis dynamics without the mullet cachet.

I know this is a bit random, but I'm planning on going to the AJC Auto Show sometime this week and if Jalopnik wants anything that might might be released there, just tell me.

Now I'll try to make a comment relevant to the post:

It's got a mix of 5-Series/M45 from the back, and I hope it ends up looking nice, cause that would be a nice VIP ride for like $45,000.

I don't think this car will 'decimate' the luxury car scene any more than the Lexus LS400 did. I do think it'll put a dent in a lot of 'near-luxury' stuff like Buicks, Acuras and maybe vehicles like the Chrysler 300, Toyota Avalon and Nissan Maxima.

This is just anonymous enough that organic cammo is probably more effective than the regular sort (which screams "preproduction!")

It doesn't look too bad, aside from, well you know, the dirt

I think your pics are out of order. If I remember Ann Arbor right (and I'm sure I don't), I think it should be 1:4:3:2.

@graverobber- Same great taste, new low price!: I think that's the grille you'll be seeing when they hit the streets - along with the 22" spinners.

@johnnyichiban: Their aesthetic inspirado is pretty obvious, but I'm wondering if the ride quality will be an homage to a no-tell motel mattress.

I'm glad to see they're sticking to the Klingon-forehead grill. Its actually better than the RL's.

Would I be daft to say I'd gladly take this over the new Acura RL?

@Unevolved...?: I've always been sort of "yeah yeah Hyundai sort of copies design I suppose." That picture sends me into the "it's a cryin shame" camp.

42k for a Lexus ES exterior with the ugly Crossfire grill, interior and 5-series bum. Leave it to Hyundai to take only the worst traits of all these cars and roll them into one (albeit powerful) abomination.

personally i like [jalopnik.com] the most, it's not as offensive as a full on chrome, and the hyundai badged one seems too plain, as well as the one with a straight black strip down the middle.
