Edmunds: Hyundai Azera

[GMPenguin]

Okay, for me I see, Acura RL for the front, Accord-ish taillights, Impala/Five Hundred roofline, and a Toyota interior.  But honestly I'm looking forward to this (and other new Kias/Hyundais) just because they've actually got some pretty good cars, and improvements with low prices make them very appealing.

Okay, I'm feeling I35.  Anyone else?  I35?

That's exactly what the 300 has: status, style, RWD. Nothing tangible.

Now if it had rear suicide doors, that would take the cake

You clearly said "pim". You even quoted the post that said it.

I AM myself 'for cryin' out loud'.  
And besides, i think all suicide doors are ricy and uneconomical.

I never said you weren't yourself.  And just the fact that first you said it would be "ricy", then "pim" confused me...you weren't clear on which you thought it would be.  And now you're saying they're uneconomical too.  Anything else they are/aren't?

Uneconomical now?  You're full of bullshit.  Stop saying anything that pops into your head.

No, if it had a three foot high wing and some 'Altezia's' then it would be ricy.  Hey, thats kinda like the car in your sig.  :o  :D

I have never seen anyone really praise the 300 3.5l.

Both Edmunds and C/D put in second place in their large-sedan comparos.

As a car, the 300 is quite nice, it has very good sriving dynamics in the segment. The main weakpoint with the 3.5 is the transmission, the MB 5 speed autobox they are going to should help to correct that.

It has good driving dynamics, but it's still not a standout. The LaCrosse CXS, Maxima, and Five Hundred have good driving dynamics as well, and their own set of advantages. There just isn't anything great about the 300 V6, it's not a great value, it doesn't have exceptional driving dynamics, it doesn't have exceptional interior space, it doesn't have exceptional power or refinement, it just doesn't stand out. It's being fawned over primarily for its styling, it's a thoroughly average car.

None of the cars you listed are exceptional in any way. The 300 is no worse than any of them. The 300 does have bold styling though, and the Hemi option. In C trim, it is far classier than the others. That said, in V6, it is more or less just a car, like the others you listed.

[ifcar]

The others are more or less cars too, but the Five Hundred is a roomier and less expensive "just a car" and the LaCrosse can be had with a better V6, has a nicer interior, and costs less as well.
