other than the design cues that seem to be replicated, the 06 sonata is actually a good car... and these days, every car looks like some other car. even the new RL's front grill reminds me of the S-class with similar lines for the headlight shape, the sidemarker-sideview mirrors, the new jetta and the corolla, the handful of headlight designs that seem to have some sort of relation to the previous body benz e-class, etc etc etc....
