Am I the only one who finds this thing hideous?

I thought the same thing, with a little difference. To me, it looked like someone took an S-class, bent it longitudinally, then sanded off the corners.

It looks droopy to me. All the downward curves make me think the thing's made of something soft and gelatinous and it's losing the battle with gravity.
They should provide a complimentary Rx for Viagra to any man who buys this car.

I don't think it looks too bad but it looks SO LONG! That is the main problem I have with the car is that it looks like it was steped on or something.

I think it is gorgeous, that line wrapping around the front wheel well and then stretching all the way to the back is a particularly brilliant touch. It looks low, sleek, elegant, a perfect look for a luxury sedan. It isn't a very agressive look but for the type car it is I think that would be a mistake.
Of course this is just my opinion, and many of you might disagree with me because while I love my 8 I don't think they are particularly attractive cars from the outside, but I am perfectly ok with that because while I particularly dislike the nose on the 8 I can't see the car's nose while sitting in the driver's seat :-)

I think it looks great. I really like the sweeping lines. Now, I'm just wondering how long it will take Hyundai to bring out a car that has similar lines like they've done with all their recent "high end" cars. :D
