It does look similar to the Sonata to my eyes too. I take that as Honda's revenge to this :

Hyundai's in the other side of the spectrum. It's the most aggressive looking one in the segment, while this (along with Jetta and Forte) is one of the most subtle looking one. And that's where personal preferences come in to play. I personally don't like how the newer Elantra looks. I think...

I actually like how retro it feels. It's not futuristic like some of its competitors, and some people will like that. It's different and it's good because of that. Kinda like what Hyundai did with the new Elantra but in a completely opposite way. Remember, there's no right or wrong in design...

I'm OK with US built CTR. I mean, build quality of the 10th gen hatchbacks aren't exactly great. Also, CTRs only started looking like robots since FK2 so I'm OK with them doing something like the FD2 again.

Here's my take on the Accord theory. First of all, this is NOT the type-R version of 2020 Accord. I'm 100% sure about that. It is a 5 door hatchback. Body lines, while similar, are not identical. "Similar" isn't enough. It has to be IDENTICAL to be the same car. NONE of the interior pieces are...

It's never a good idea to use a photo for measuring things because of the distortion that happens inevitably.

OK here's why the grill "looks like" BMW. It's a single opening with a tape/wrap over the badge, not two separate openings. Obviously not 100% same since this is current gen, but you get the idea.

Correct. They have i30N and i30 Fastback N instead. Germany gets all kinds of test vehicles from around the world and not all of them end up in European market. Probably because everyone wants a piece of that Nurburgring.

Ok Can I get the same pair of glasses you guys are wearing? Lol But seriously, you need to look at more spyshots. They end up looking completely different from people's expectations. There are reasons why companies cover them up.

They probably need a few testers in germany for some ring time.

You can cover all of them with proper camo. Some European companies even make them look like other brands' cars on purpose. In earlier stages, it's common to use parts from other cars. The very first spy shot of the current gen Type-R was ILX hatchback with huge wheels. I do see some...

This is a new car. It's not a refresh. That's why it does not look like current gen Type-R, or current gen Accord. Just like how 10th gen civic doesn't look anything like the 9th gen. Also, let's remember that these test mules rarely use production parts at this stage of the development. So...
