First of all, I don't have a Hyundai Azera. As matter of fact, I own one of the luxury cars that you've listed above so I think I do know a thing or few about luxury cars.
Second, where did I say that the Azera is a luxury car? I said it is a near luxury car which is different. A luxury car like you said is a BMW, MB, Lexus and etc (I don't consider Chrysler and Lincoln as luxury cars so I guess I have higher standard than you), OTOH a near luxury car is cars in this segment like Lucerne, Avalon, Azera, Maxima and 300. The Dodge Charger, which is a budget RWD sports sedan, is not part of that group. Like I said, the only similarity between Charger and Azera is size.

Charger heritage? If you look at the upcoming Challenger, THAT is what should be the Charger. I mean...if you go back and watch Dukes of Hazzard re-runs, you'll see that the 'Ol General Lee body style resembles the Challenger more than the current Charger.

My dad owned a '69 Charger R/T. Both of us were disappointed when Chrysler decided to add two more doors...

I think this was a case of Dodge just wanting to attach a name that had a meaning for Mopar faithfuls.

If you don't have a Azera then why are you here on this board talking about a car you don't have.To me in order to compare a car on this board,it makes sense to own one of these cars.Second the Charger and 300 are identical cars,same platform,same engines,just a differant name.Why don't you hang out with the cars that are in your catergory?Your buddy Azera owners been bragging that they have a luxury car,and its not.You call my Charger budget,yet it beats the Azera in trade,and retail value,so that doesn't say much about the Azera does it?Plus I don't think that they are going to put a Mercedes E series suspension,transmission,steering column,seat frames on a budget car.And people say the Charger has 4 doors,well the original Charger was made from the 4 door Coronet.4 doors or not,the Charger is a lot better looking then what Hyundai came up with.Its also one of the most popular car on the road along with the 300.I would guess more popular then what you drive.Motor Trend even says after driving the Charger"enough about the four doors already"

You don't have to own a car to have an opinion.
The Azera and Charger are pretty dead even in trade in value as has been proven previously.
The Azera is not a full out luxury car, it is an entry level luxury car...that is what was stated. Compared to what else is out there in it's price range it's more luxury than anything...except for maybe the Lucerne. The Charger may have a Mercedes platform and suspension underpinnings, but it sure doesn't ride or handle like a Benz...AT ALL.

One usually compares cars before they buy them not after.
Your buddy Azera owners been bragging that they have a luxury car
One could also brag a Honda Accord is a luxury car, but doesn't make it so.

When did you become an administrator here xtec? Last I checked we could particpate in any discussion we wanted to as long as it didn't get personal, and it was on the subject of the thread.
4 doors or not,the Charger is a lot better looking then what Hyundai came up with.
That's your opinion, but you state it as fact. It's not. Styling is subjective.

That was a bit rude comments to louiswei, don't you think? Everyone has the right to be here and discuss in civil fashion. Aside from everything others have already pointed out regarding your post, I'd like to see where it has been said the Azera is a luxury car? The Azera is a premium/near-luxury sedan with luxury features.
