My point is that this conversation will be had again in 3 years, with people saying how that current model is hideous, and how the LCI G30 was such a nice looking car...

Such is evolution...
It's not evolution. It's imitation. The side profile looks like a Hyundai. The rear end looks like a Lexus. The DRLs are clearly Volkswagen. There is NO draw to this boring vehicle with mismatched design influences.

Good news, there's a big gap in the market for understated and timeless design. Think Audi has the best edge on that these days.
