📰 Auto News 2012 Hyundai Azera coming soon!!!

I'm VERY intrigued I must say. This car is briding the gap between the new Sonata and the Genesis. Probably trying to take buyers from the Camery, Maxima, Avalon, lacrosse, and what not in the midsized class.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and will be very interested come early 2012. I aleady really like the Sonata, and the Genesis although 44K is a little too much for me right now. This will probably be a great part in their lineup.

I think the last gen sonata and azera were sharp for a hyundai. I know the newer sonatas and im sure the azeras have a great interior but the outside reminds me of a pregnant whale.

I hate that hyundai is making suck nice cars.

I love the new sonata, if they put the 2.0t engine in this I will love it even more due to the sportier look.

Apparently they are gunning for a 300+ HP V6 that gets 30 mpg on the hwy...


That's the rumor at least. Pretty decent lineup though, Sonata with the 2.0 270 hpturbo, Azera with 300hp V6, and Genesis with 400 hp V8.

300 hp v6...30 mpg?? Awesome. I want one. Depending on how this ends up being after it actually comes out...this might just take the 04-08 Acura TL's spot as my favorite car (that's actually kinda affordable).

Here's the back:

Kinda Aston Martin like

Not bad at all, loving the black roof on the silver car too. I fi got one it'd probably be in black, but still it looks really good. One of these in black/black with tech and sun & sound packages would make an awesome DD.

I don't hate that, not at all.

They got the looks and the features down... I wish they'd make them fun to drive or at least acceptable to drive. They dial so much understeer into the Genesis that you can't even throttle steer it and it's rear wheel drive.

The Eques (or however you spell it) is a pretty bad ass looking car but for what they want for it I can't see how anyone would grab one over a top of the line 5 series.

It's because the Equus is going after the 7-series. The current 2012 Genesis R-spec and 4.6 are more comparable to the 5-series in size (and about 25K cheaper)

The Equus, while going after the 7-series is underpowered but has the amentities. I believe it's about 30K cheaper when comparably equipped...
