Replying to: cobrazera (Nov 12, 2007 6:20 am) So is my 1996 Accord, with 139 lb-ft and 130 hp.  Who knew it was a hot rod?!?!? Just kidding, just kidding.

Replying to: jaymagic (Nov 12, 2007 7:59 am) After multiple posts asking him questions about some posts he made, which contradicted themselves, in a non-threatening, non-sarcastic tone (you can check them out, I think i was pretty objective) and getting told I don't know how to read, I have no respect there whatsoever because I have gotten nothing but middle-school-style disrespect from the poster. So, if I want to call my not-so-fast 130 horse Accord HO, I think I will. I'm not claiming it to be as fast as an Azera, but I think I'll call it the High Output Super Fantastic 16 Valve PowerDrive SOHC Quad-Cylinder Ultra-Deluxe Engine.  Too much? Back to the fullsizers... Any new Taurus or Sable owners with anything to report?

Scores higher then anybody else is safety ratings which is important for my young family. The 08 Taurus has an almost European feel to it and is a big improvement over previous models. |

This is the cars that Hyundai claims that you should be comparing your Azera to.I all ready proved that the Azera can't compare to the Charger.The Charger has better trade in value,better retail value,as well more popularity to the Azera.I think I saw maybe 3 Azera in a year compared to about 5 to6 Chargers every time I go out.The Badge on the side of my car says 3.5 HO.Its not my fault thats what it says.It is a high output ,and I did not say if your torque is better then the HP that its a HO engine,it takes more then that to be HO,just like the Mustang HO engine is not the same as their non HO.You call the Azera a luxury car,yet you compared it to the Charger SE which is the bottom trim line ,while your AZ is the top of the line,yet the Charger still beat you in value.So I think you should try to compete with Hyundai says you should,but My opinion says you will lose again.

Replying to: xtec (Nov 12, 2007 12:00 pm) I believe that they all compete since they are in the same price class and size class. You mention popularity and how you see 5 or 6 on the road everytime you are out... I'd bet a large percent of those are rentals. They sure are around here - V6 Chargers, 300s, and Magnums are rampant on Enterprise lots. They are in Oklahoma City as well, not just here in Birmingham. I'm willing to be this is the case over large parts of the country. Fleet sales hurt resale - just look at the outgoing Dodge Stratus. I all ready proved that the Azera can't compare to the Charger. I think you only proved it to yourself. If others were as convinced as you were, this discussion would be dead by now. If you think the Azera and Charger can't compete, then why participate in this discussion?

Replying to: xtec (Nov 12, 2007 12:08 pm) In fact, the EPA calls the Azera's smaller brother, the Sonata, a full-size car as well. |
