Replying to: vic10 (Nov 06, 2007 6:00 pm) I've test driven both and much prefer the Azera, especially if they get their suspension problems cleaned up. Honestly, the Charger had a nervous feel to its handling which I didn't like. But, each of us obviously can make our own decisions, right? By the way, I wouldn't consider myself "stuck" with an Azera should I purchase one. I'd be proud of my decision to spend my money wisely. |

Replying to: cobrazera (Nov 07, 2007 3:02 am) However, thank you for proving my point that the Charger and Azera are pretty much the same value. There are some that just refuse to believe that their precious American-made Charger can even be compared to the likes of a Korean-made product! LOL Like I said before when I bought my '02 Sonata, the rest of the car makers need to keep an eye over their shoulder because Hyundai is creeping up on them.

Replying to: alexstore (Nov 07, 2007 7:04 am) Anyway...what exactly do you mean by "status"??? Are you aware that the Avalon isn't even the best vehicle that Toyota makes? The FJ Cruiser has taken that distinction as the Toyota vehicle with the least amount of problems. |

Replying to: allmet33 (Nov 07, 2007 5:50 am) The Azera 1/4 mile and 0-60 are each about 1/2 sec behind the V-8 Charger; in the stoplight Grand Prix, whoever leaves first will not be caught without going into illegal speeds.

Replying to: cobrazera (Nov 07, 2007 9:16 am) It's sad that it takes an American V-8 to contend with a Korean V-6. However, from an equipment standpoint...the two are not equal. This discussion didn't start out intially as a performance issue, rather a value issue and to get a good comparison between them...you need to build them up the same, that means V-6 for V-6, even if they don't perform the same.
