2015 Hyundai Genesis appears uncovered

Hyundai gave us a tease of its second-gen Genesis sedan courtesy of the HCD-14 Genesis Concept displayed at this year's Detroit Auto Show, and while we've seen numerous spy shots of the car testing since (both on and off the track), all were heavily camouflaged. That all changed today when the South Korean site bobaedream.co.kr posted an image of the new luxury sedan sitting out completely uncovered (click the image to enlarge).

While we can't see much more than the face of the new Genesis sedan, it does appear to be a striking improvement over the current car that debuted back in 2008. The jutting, upright grille is very similar in appearance to the HCD-14 Concept, while the headlights and fascia look like a combination of Mercedes S-Class and E-Class. The body creasing isn't as dramatic as the concept, but the roofline and glasshouse look to be almost identical to the show car. Based on how finished the car looks in this picture, our guess is that we could see Hyundai's new Genesis at an upcoming auto show like LA or Detroit.2015 Hyundai Genesis appears uncovered originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:01:00 EST.

First impression: looks like a dolphin or catfish.

Very uninspiring frontend, very generic, I think it is a major miss. I have a 2009 Genesis and have been waiting to upgrade for this car, but no need to wait based on this picture. Off to get a 2013 R Spec.

I do like that new color above. Reminds me of the smell of napalm in the morning. (Vet)

I hope this is Hyundai bad Idea of a joke right. Its October. Holloween month right? We will see another version of this car right? I like the costume

what-the-hell-is-this

I said the same thing when I saw these picture. Please tell me this isn't so. I thought only Acura could screw up a car, now the stick was given to Hyundai.

To much competition out there now to lose ground with this model. I hope the rest of this car is being redesigned. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac... Its now safe to come back outside

I find nothing sexy about this car. Glad I have a '12 R-Spec. Im safe with it for a while. I just might upgrade to a 2014 if they keep it the same.

I agree with other posters I sure hope Hyundai is putting on a joke !
