You just get used to the new cascading grill design then they come up with this.  I'm guessing it's a US design?  :crazy1:

I know the link in a couple of months old, but I don't think it has been on here before.

They are employing origami proponents to do the styling. Just like Lexus.

 :D

We are entering the age of downplay and no wow factor.
It matches the grey colour.

Its so riveting that we will find starving Elantra owners lost in parking lots because they cant find the shitty car that they never looked at.

Hideous. The new Ioniq is only marginally better. Same overall shape as the current i30, but they've ditched the cascading grill. Did it really cause them to lose market share? Now they look like every other generic car grill.

The rear is very much like the Sonata.

I will reserve judgement on the front until I see it in the flesh....

A bit more about the 2019 Elantra. Think it has been designed for the US market where I think it is relatively popular.

Still not keen!
