join me on a tour in the strange house of oddities come as I show you the car the time and the world forgot there it is the Hyundai Azera I had big hopes for this car but it turns out I was the president of a fan club of about this many people now they're relaunching it ever seen one in the wild that wasn't a rental probably not neither abide but this is a much better looking car now and they're going to give it a big push it actually is the last car in Hyundai's plan to completely blow out their whole line and redesign it across 24 months which they've now completed it has their flicks culture look to it little gaudy to my eye as is the new Sonata which I also love as a car but I'd love to see what kids designer Pete schreier would do with this guy anyway 3.3 liter gasoline direct injection v6 in there 293 horsepower and it moves this biggish car at a combined 23 mpg one choice only on the gearbox six-speed automatic what I like about it is they've content editio drivi camera standard touchscreen head unit with nav and standard Hyundai blue link which is their new connected telematics system so they're slotting this guy in the mid-20s I'm sure it comes out in 2012 time and price to be determined the question is how well will it compete against its cousin the very popular sonata or its other cousin upscale the to Genesis twins they got a bit of a juggling act here now they're not set yet on when in 2012 the new azera comes out but we'll assume early in the year or they call it a 2013 and pricing going to be somewhere in the mid 20s I'm sure that's where the outgoing model slotted about 5 grand above sonata and this one definitely looks about 5 grand nicer in person
