But its still a copy non the least.

I agree to a point, but where Nissan took design cues, Hyundai seems to outright copy sometimes. All companies take design elements from one another, even the luxury and exotic brands. Hyundai just seems to take it a little too far sometimes, to the point of plagiarism. The Equus looks like a Lexus LS twin and to a small degree the current gen coupe to the g37 coupe. They have started to break away from those designs though, which I'm really glad they're doing. The Veloster for example, is a huge step in building a distinct brand design. I still can't bring myself to really gen coupe for some reason. I dunno, it just seems like a work in progress.
