I highly doubt the Genesis Sedan would go this direction, they're aiming for 5-Series and Lexus market customers arn't they?

Dont like it....

Snoopy, that was my impression, but what other car would it be then?

I have no clue, but it's just too agressively styled for the luxury Genesis image. Perhaps a new Azera? Seems a bit big in it's cues to replace the Elantra.
If some people are right and 'Genesis' becomes the next Lexus/Infinity then I think you'll see Hyundai go the agressive Sonata/Tucson way and the Genesis go the Equus way.

I thought about the Azera, but I thought I heard they were getting rid of that now that they have the Genesis and Equus, but the Azera is definitely in a lower price range, I think they would have to (or should) change the name of it if they are going to redesign so drastically. The Azera really isn't a very aggressive looking car IMO.

Too big and doesn't match any cues from the Elantra, so I see that being unlikely. I love the current Elantra body styles (not aggressive, but really nice and original still) I used to have an '08, and I've seen some pictures of what looks like it could be the Elantra's replacement, I'll take a look and see if I can find it again.

Nvm on that. Here's the pic:

But I read the article and it's supposed to be a high end luxury car, with a Limo feature available!

that looks like the Equus concept

I was watching some TopGear on Youtube and found this:

apparently the car we've been looking at is called the i-Flow, I love how those rear doors open!
