Great interviews!
Brave new world: Korea, Germany USA... Audi, BMW Isuzu...
Genesis is no longer a Korean car. It is a world car for the world public.

Man I love those wheels.

That power door open would create quite a bit of grocery parking lot drama.

Nice to see those two guys behind the design helm as Hyundai moves up in the world.

I just liked the handle in the fender instead of the door, powered or not.

Back in 12 I drove an Optima - and as soon as I got into it the first thing I thought was "audi a4/a6/vw passat" for the interior styling and design of the late 2000's - especially the seating....

When I got home and found that Schreyer was involved - I knew where it came from.

The same thing happened when I sat in the G2 for the first time. I looked at the dash & seats and immediately thought "5/7 series" - low and behold that design language is right out of Chapman's playbook during his time at BMW.

So while they are both taking queues from their previous work - the meeting of the minds has certainly resulted in some fantastic results. One needs to look no further than the G2, the Sonata and now this Vision G to see the results of that. Now - if they would only get together on the Equus - they could fix that disaster too. It suffers from the exact same problem the early 2010's Mercs do (with the interior on the S class): It tries too damned hard to be posh. It loses the luxury and instead comes across as being tacky. The exteriors are fantastic on the Mercs - and on the Equus.... but the interiors on both need some serious help.

Right now my favorite interiors are the 7 & 5 series, then the G2... but it is a very close race between the G2 and the 5.

Hrm.... while perusing designers a few minutes ago.... I came across Giles Taylor. I KNEW I had recognized the tail light & shouldered wheel flare on the Vision...

I think they are taking CUES from Bentley.
