The "Benz Grill" is more than a passing nod to Mercedes, it's a downright knockoff. It's not like the Benz Grill is a "headlight" or "tailight" mimick, it's a trademark of the brand! Just type in "Genesis Benz Grill" into any respectable search engine, and it's obvious as day that Hyundai, and nearly everyone who has seen the Genesis Sedan knows that Hyundai knocked off the grill.

The coupe is a little less obvious, but it's probably not a coincidence that it looks like an Infiniti. That makes Hyundai look cheap IMHO.
