Hyundai has released the first official images of its 2007 Genus Concept. The Genus concept was first previewed with a sketch in February. The crossover vehicle is described as a D-segment vehicle, likely aimed at the Mercedes R-Class. The car showcases the Korean automaker’s new design language, which executives have described as “river stone.” In January, Hyundai showcased a concept called the HCD-9 Talus, with similar design cues. See all the images of the after the HED-2 Genus Concept jump…

These guys have it figger’d out. Rather than copy the GM model of musical platforms or Ford’s blind rat dance; they were smart enough to play the Toyota game. Only, it didn’t take them 20yrs to discover ‘design’ is needed too.

Pretty hip design! I love the integrated bike/snowboard rack that nicely hides when not needed. It’s like a hybrid of the Mazda5 with the Mercedes R-class (as mentioned in the write-up) and some agressive lines. I wonder what direction they’ll go with this?

if they can build a car that keeps the concepts’ design, drives well and is reasonably prices then this looks like it could be one of the biggest sellers ever for this company!

Peugeot from the front, R-type Mercedes from the back. Nothing new in this car.

Hyundai’s sense of style is actually not too bad. This concept looks great, but some of their other stuff has also been good. They do kind of have a styling theme that you can’t say about some Japanese brands.
