Korea’s biggest automaker is building a new design studio for Hyundai Motor America’s styling crew, the company said on Monday. The American artists, who penned the company’s Santa Fe SUV and the HCD-6 concept, will move to a $25 million facility big enough for 150 employees at the end of next year. The new Irvine, Calif., facility will have full capability, from computer sketches to clay modeling. "This new design facility is an important milestone for Hyundai in the United States," said Finbarr O'Neill. "With the additional resources available at the new design facility, Hyundai will continue to raise the bar, developing exciting new models for consumers." Moving from Fountain Valley, Calif., along with the designers, will be the company’s Technical Center.
