Well, I observed Azera very closely at the past auto show, and I was not impressed at all. In fact, the car was too expensive for the things it offered. It's a Korean car, and it cost on par with VW Passat, about 33K in Canadian funds. What's the difference? Azera comes with V6. Passat came with 2.0T. However, that turbo engine moves the car really well, low 15-sec 1/4 mile. The interior is just no comparison. Azera does look cheap, and you can tell it's catching up and has a long way to go. The exterior did not impress me either, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Agreed. It's going to be a good value... but has no soul, nothing unique and compelling about it. A lot of buyers are going to confuse it with their own *insert other imported sheep-a-car name here* sedan in the mall parking lot
