No wonder, because Chief Designer is Peter Schreyer who was a head of VW/Audi design team.

That does look very good, but it's a rendering and a bunch of masked photos. Also, a full size FWD car? Not sure if I want that.
I do respect the value of the Hyundai line, though. I'd definitely own one if I were in the market for a new car. That or a Fusion.

azera/amanti are based on the sonata platform, iirc. it's basically competitive with the impala, some buicks, and the avalon.
i wonder if the azera will go further upscale and compete with the ES

Ah, nevermind, I thought it was a full-size. An Azera is no bigger than a Sonata then?

No - Azera is bigger than a Sonata. BAsed on a stretched Sonata platform. Kinda like a Camry & Avalon - same platform - but a lsightly larger car.
Azera's biggest competitor would be the Avalon and Buick Lucerne.

Bloomberg this morning I think it was said this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Korean cars because their currency is down significantly whereas the Yen is up, so it's made them instantly more competitive for free.
