Sneak Peak: 2011 Hyundai Elantra / Avante

For so long, I've always hated the way Hyundai cars looked. I also didn't like it because it's an under-performing, low-quality styled, and cheap looking car. It looked ugly in my eyes, but I think that's about to change. I've just watch a video on the new 2011 Hyundai Elantra/Avante. In Malaysia, it's call the Elantra. The current one is not that bad, better than the previous one. But this new one really caught my eye. It's a small sized sedan, the same segment as the Civic, Carolla, Focus, and Sylphy.

Here's a glimpse of the new Hyundai Elantra.

As you can see, this car is more curvy than the previous one. Much, much more. You see, lately, I think curves and bulges have been the secret to good looking cars for quite some time now. This is something that Hyundai has finally grasp.

You can see a lot of design ques from the latest Sonata which was recently released, I forgot when. There goes my credibility.

Overall, I believe the Koreans have found the right styling. The Kia Forte is a good looking car, even though I think it copied the Honda Civic, but a bit boxy. "Give the Koreans a chance man!"
