Only the front styling
Only comparing the front styling in this case. However, lots of professional car reviewers have been very favorably comparing Hyundai offerings to MB and other luxury makes. And don't think MB, BMW, etc. haven't noticed.

Not that crappy
While I don't own a Hyundai, I don't get all the bashing going on here.
It's a totally different car, made for totally different value buyer.
Obviously, it copies directly from MB's designs, which is nicely done.
I remember the old criticism from the 70's & 80's about how crappy those Toyota, Datsun/Nissan, & Honda's were...

Maybe it's just because the c is new, but I have mistaken them for facelifted w212 a few times recently while driving. They seem much bigger than the last c and the front end is very similar. Every time I thought it was an e was when it was coming towards me. The rear is kinda like the s but the size difference is enough for me to tell between those.
And on the Hyundai, they clearly copied design features from mb on the previous genesis, and Audi on the current gen. I don't like the copying and feel like it makes them the knock off brand, but a lot of people probably don't care or don't even notice. Or maybe they like that it looks just like an Audi at a fraction of the cost.
