choose your cruiser 2011 azera or 2011 avalon

Hyundai and Toyota have done the math, and they know Americans almost always prefer big, crude and comfortable over slick, trim and stylish. In hopes Impala-ing this fat part of the mid-sized sedan market, Toyota and Hyundai have refreshed their Avalon and Azera sedans for 2011, and the results are… well, frankly, we can’t tell.

Well, now we know where Hyundai is gonna put it's 6-cylinders instead of the Sonata. FWD cars with reasonably powerful 6-cylinder engines still sell impressive numbers in the North American market, whether folks want them to or not.

I don't like the Corolla on steriods. Don't like the current Corolla. But the tail lamps on that Avalon look very good. I'd take the Chundai... I've seen it here and looks decent. This is between the 2 shown However I'd go and buy an Impala or 300.

Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
