    Those Hyundai SUVs are awful but IMO most Hyundai saloons or hatchbacks are ok looking.

    Yes sir! I personally do like those. Their grilles aren't even that big, the headlights are just a bit squinty. I gotta say though, it reminds me of this... but then again, I love this.

    I see...pardon me for a moment...*hurling in next room is heard* Okay. I'm good. Yes...*hurling again* Okay, I-I'm alright. At risk of losing another lunch, I'm going to say thank you for sharing your opinion and be done with it.

    *eyes blow up*
    There's nothing good in that, the older cars with "big" grilles are way much better.
    In other words:

    This is 10x better than the '14 Cherokee or '19 Santa Fe.

    Since the 2017 Santa Fe, they started slipping in SUV design. Then came the holy damn Kona...

    I guess, my major point in all of this is that cars don't seem to have character anymore. And when you get in these new cars, they feel like the person designing it didn't have any fun, and was instead up against a deadline. To watch a car design--such as the Impala--through the years fall through from the stand alone glory of what it once was to the mushy form of what it is now, is like watching Pan Am go bankrupt again.

    Okay that’s fine, everyone has their own tastes, but have you guys ever driven a new impala? Especially with the 305 hp V6... awesome cars. I like their styling

    I'm talking about 2014+ yeah. "Nothing that special" is a statement I have to disagree with, find me another car besides the charger that has those haunches and muscle car lines. I quite like it. And it's a new Chevy without a massive grille ;)

    This "Impala" isn't even an muscle car. The Charger is.
    It only works if they mostly match in characteristics, especially categories, and the Impala never matched the Charger in any way.
    Also, it looks bulky, which is not acceptable for car designs.

    I'm talking about looking like a muscle car, not BEING a muscle car ahaha! I'd take a Charger over an Impala ANY DAY. Any year too.

    Looks like an muscle car?
    Doesn't to me. It looks more like an bulky brother of the Malibu, with an attitude.

    Nope, I see more of an modernized bulky Caprice or an big brother of the Malibu. I see no Camaro, Charger, or Mustang in it, just other Chevrolet sedans.

    One is a well-organized fake smile, while the other one looks like it is staring you down and going to knife you in your sleep.

    The new Impala surely looks buff, but you'd expect it to have a V8.
