A HYAUNDI Sonata???!!!
RE: A HYAUNDI Sonata???!!!
After driving my rental '06 Chrysler Sebring for a while I can tell you one thing, my brother in laws rental Sonata was like driving a lexus in comparison. We also had an Hyaundi Azera for a rental and again in comparison to the Sebring, the Azara is a Mercedes. The Azera was really nice, if I didn't know better I might buy one. Why oh why do people buy Chryslers?

Dodge\Chrysles\Jeep, the company makes decent truck, thats what there known for. If you really want a american Luxury car, get a Caddy or a Buick, everyone knows that!!.....you might laugh at Buick, but they ride good because there're going after the older drivers (50-60), the inside looks young, but the inside of most american car are young.

I work for a hyundai dealership and drive new sonatas everyday. My2.7T 6spd. would take one any day, they have a 0-60 of 7.0sec. The azera would be closer as it is by far the fastest car in our lineup. The sonatas are awesome, and for the value you can't get a better grocery getter. Oh and I already beat a new gen altima which sports the maximas 3.5 in a lighter car. Close but the awd launches soooooo much better.

Also the Sonata,likethe V6 Accord, will actually pull a mid 6sec to 60mph. A 2.7T 6spd pulls low 6, tip mid 6. It'd be close race with a 2.7T TIP, which launches like crap unless you mod the tranny. Sonata's got almost same HP and more displacement too. Azera is super nice for the $, just heavy.

Its a bit of topic, but i got eaten by a 07 Lexus GS350 AWD. I really love to direction that lexus is going. After Audi, those would be my next prospect. With a 0-60 of 5.1 and a 1/4 mile of 13.9 its a respectable car, not to mention a greatAWD system, good fuel economy and a 3.5LV6 with 306HP. Did I forget killer good looks?Seems they are shifting away from the rest of the ricers.....
Also, My dads 07 Passat 3.6 4motion WAGON is neck in neck with me everywhere but 95mph and up on the highway.
