Subarundai

Hyundai's new 2015 Sonata I find to be quite a looker. It's exerior has matured yet it still looks like a Sonata. Gone is the garish chrome waterfall grille, abandoned for a sleeker front end that has some family resemblance to it's older brother, the Genesis.



However, that matured mug also is a bit more generic, looking a bit like other premium brands like Audi and Volvo. And then seeing a the newly revised Subaru Legacy today in the flesh, it hit me that it looks a lot like the new Sonata (although, like the Sonata, it simultaneously looks like an evolution of the last Legacy). It's like the two designs evolved to look like siblings - the Legacy your average sedan, and the Sonata the sporty "4 door coupe" version.
