What kind of headlights are those?? I mean the actual bulbs, the four squares. Never seen such a thing before...

As for the overall car, Hyundai did the same thing with their Genisis. Looks like a Merc!

The side grille looks like stick-on and the LED design at the bottom front bumper is copied from MB E-Class.

WTF? Looks like near a straight copy, can't these asian manufactures ever think of original ideas? They are always trying to rip off BMW designs.
