Hyundai Azare vs. SSEi..
Its a sad day when the all new Hyundai Azare can run the same as a 96-99' SSEi. Motor Trend says 15.0@ 94.3mph from the new 265hp 3.8L V6 that replaced the XG350'* 200hp 3.5L. Even the midrange Ellantra (sp?) runs 15.6@90mph. Sometimes I wish it was still 1998 when we could still rule the road. No American 4 door could touch a L67 then. Now we have 425hp SRT-8'* and 469 hp STS-V'* to live up to.

Times change... wait until I tell you about the next V6 Camry...
which has 3.5L, 268 hp and 248 lb-ft to go along with it. I don't think I'm too fond of the styling however, it may grow on me.

still bland. still a Hyundai and it is azera not azare.
however it is not a bad car. especially if someone was buying it new because of the ~$25,000 price and the warranty.

I honestly think the new Hyundais are nice looking cars. They've adopted a lot of Euro type styling.
Especially compared to the 89 Hyundai I bought when it was brand new. The Mitsubishi engines they used back then would take a beating. Finally got rid of that thing in 97 or 98 when the MN road salt ate it
