I sat in a Hyundai Sonata and Azera for the 1st Time Tonight
I was helping a friend car shop, and just out of curiosity took a peek at the Hyundai Sonata and Azera.
Neither was on his list, but at any rate, I am mighty impressed with the build and material quality of both of these cars. Amazed, actually.
If the Azera had no badging, and I didn't know what it was, someone could EASILY convince me it was a Lexus or Infinity. It was a black one with black leather and the wood on the steering wheel and dash.
I can't believe how far Hyundai has come.

I love my RX-8; I'm just getting to be an old fart.

I know what you mean about the Sonata. My local Mazda dealer stuck me with one as a rental for a week. The worst part was, once I tried it I kinda liked it.
Clearly they've made huge strides, but I can't shake the memory of the tiny, cheap pieces of junk that first washed up on our shores wearing the Hyundai badge.
When I get too old to get in and out of my RX-8 comfortably I'm going to hire a hot nurse to ride along and help me in and out of the car. Plenty of room for her in the 4-seater.

They've definitely come a LONG way. I'm guessing they'll be the next Honda if they can keep their reliability up. They've invested in a lot of process reengineering so that they can build cars cheaper using quality parts.
