That sounds more like an Optima replacement to me.

Way too big to be an Optima replacement.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Just because it is  on the Azera platform doesn't mean it'll be all that big.

You can look at it and see it's the size of the Azera. The fact that it will also have the 3.8-liter V6 is another strong indicator.

I dunno, the new Accord is a full-sizer and thecurrent Optima IMO looks small.



It dosen't look too large.

Looks like a mix of Insignia, Passat CC and old shape Lexus GS300 rolled into one...

I imagine they're phasing out the 3.3l for the 3.8l.

The availability of an I4 is a far stronger indicator that it's an Optima replacement.

It doesn't say whether the US would get the 4-cylinder. The Azera is available with the 2.4-liter in some markets, too.
