Replying to: captain2 (Feb 06, 2008 9:01 am) Wait a minute...aren't RWD vehicles supposed to be better at accelerating??? Isn't that one of the reasons why RWD is a prefered platform for a sports sedan??? The FE may not be any better in the Genesis as compared to the Azera, but I can see it being about the same. Like you said...well know more soon enough. |

Replying to: tenpin288 (Feb 06, 2008 9:02 am) despite a 10% smaller engine and a 10% difference in FE the Avalon will still outaccelerate the Azera .

Replying to: allmet33 (Feb 06, 2008 9:08 am) Can you show a link to where it says 4,000 lbs? I can guarantee you that the Genesis FE will not be better than Azera, the best case is that both are the same.

Replying to: captain2 (Feb 06, 2008 9:16 am)  Which...considering the Avalon being a tad lighter with a few more ponies under the hood...it SHOULD be out accelerating the Azera. However...if you look at the MotorTrend comparo...the Avalon went 0-60 in 6.2 and they got the Azera to go 0-60 in 6.8. 1/4 mile run...the Avalon did it in 14.8  96.2 mph and the Azera did it in 15.2 93.6 mph. Not exactly a runaway, huh Captain? Wait a minute...the Azera stopped quicker (60-0) 121 ft, compared to the 126 ft on the Avalon. 600 ft Slalom run...the Azera averaged 63.8 mph and the Avalon averaged 61.9 mph. Wow...here's an important figure that's even closer when compared...passing 45-65 mph...Azera needed 3.2 seconds and the Avalon needed 3 seconds flat. Captain...from a performance standpoint, it would seem that the Azera is TRULY a competitor for the Avalon, moreso than you care to admit or accept. Here, you can check for yourself, so you can see I didn't make anything up. Like I said, do yourself a favor and hop in an Azera and take it for a spin, and you'll start to understand how any of this is possible. MotorTrend Comparo: Azera vs Avalon
