Well, the mule is out of the barn. The Azera is out, and I'm betting it will
be a winner, although not make the waves the 06 Sonata did.

It's obvious that Hyundai is not half stepping. They are apparently
determined to become a full line manufacturer, from doodle bug to full-sized
luxury sedan. I even expect pickup trucks, small, medium, and large.

Is this a mistake? If they build on the inroads they have made with the 06
Sonata, I don't think so. If they avoid bland bread boxes like Toyota and
Honda are experimenting with, they can gain market share in a hurry.
