It looks like a new Honda Accord sedan married a new Mazda3 sedan and had children - which isn't a bad thing, since it looks better than both of those IMO.

It also looks to be as big as Accords used to be prior to 2008.

There is the source of your design queue. The styling has nothing to do with any other automaker. And especially not Hyundai-Kia...

Ignore the cosmetics and look under the skin at what matters. See the car for its mechanical merits rather than art academy regurgitation.

Steel and fastener quality? Suspension geometry? Hydraulic valve timing configuration? Turbocharger supplier, flange, housing, and wheel specification? Transaxle gearing?

This, and especially the Type R, remind me of a Prius with a dash of Crosstour. Not sure how I feel about them, but def not instantly attracted to them.

What I think is absolutely the worst aspect of this car(from what I've read) is that the turbo powered engine mated to a CVT only. If you want a standard transmission you have to choose the non-turbo engine. And I will NOT drive a CVT. Too many people with Fits having problems with them in the forums. Total hogwash.

It's starting to look like the Honda Crosstour.
Never did like the Crosstour.
