I prefer the simple refined (if conservative) look of the original.
I can see where you are coming from but (with respect) we need to take a realistic pill...Hyundai needs to keep up with current and future trends (Ford Focus, Mazda 3 etc...) and I think this latest incarnation does that
Who was that responding to Dazz?I presume those who don't like it so much?
I'm glad I got mine when I did... this one looks like it was designed by a teenager brought up on transformer toys. Too many swoops and curves for mine. I'd prefer they look more to EU than Asia for their designs.I prefer the simple refined (if conservative) look of the original.

Here's an article that mentions it being designed in Germany, pip.... http://www.caradvice.com.au/132086/2012-hyundai-i30-to-be-unveiled-at-frankfurt-motor-show/
This is Hyundai’s new i30, which will aim to offer Golf- and Focus-beating space and a higher-quality interior, when it goes on sale in spring 2012.Designed at Hyundai’s European studios near Frankfurt, the latest i30 gets a new, longer chassis that’s designed to free up cabin space. Hyundai has yet to announce precise dimensions, but the company’s chief designer, Thomas Bürkle, has admitted that the wheelbase has stretched slightly for the new generation. Luggage space has increased too, by around 10%.
Will it be available in cw, or will they keep that for the i40? I saw the live feed from germany somewhere online, when it was revealed but the audio did not work at first, wasn't anyone mentioning it.Don't know the details (price) but if there was a nice looking cw, I might find the i30 more interesting than the i40. It seems lots of the great features of i40 is available for next generation i30 as well. The i40 is an awesome stationcar, but the size/length of the car I'm not sure about. When I went to the premier here, kinda figured out I'd rather have an ix35 if I was to trade in.
