Can the Hyundai Tucson's futuristic design pass the test of time?

With a bold, avant garde design, the current generation Hyundai Tucson is a departure from many of its competitors. It does make a statement though with its unique front grille that incorporates hidden daytime running lights, sharp body lines and distinctive rear light signature. But others say a design that's this bold may age fast or become dated with trends. It's also a question of how well these design elements will stand up physically over time with the more complex lighting systems built into the grille. But supporters say that the Tucson's design gives it a premium look that is punching above its price point and helps it stand out in a segment that is crowded. The question is whether Hyundai chose the right path with such a bold design direction or not, it would have been better for long term appeal and resale value.
