Default First Drive 2012 Hyundai Azera

I just saw this over on the Car Chat Forum and thought it might be of interest to fellow ES350 drivers.

I'm waiting to the see the 2013 ES in person, but what I have seen thus far I'm not impressed.

That car looks very pretty in pictures. When the Genesis debuted, I really thought that would be the name of Hyundai's luxury division. I guess I was off base about that.

Hyundai has said they don't have plans for a luxury division.

Maybe now that new car sales are improving and they have more upscale models that might change??
