Hyundai Azera or Kia Cadenza?

[Sal Collaziano]

Which do you prefer? And why?

That's what I was thinking about the Kia! ;-)

Everything is right about the design on the Kia.....except that front end. However, I like it better than my dads 2012 Azera, which has a magnificent interior compared to my Genesis. The Kia has some sort of appeal to me over the Azera, and I think it's purely the exterior design including the wheels.

Couldn't agree more.

Cadenza all the way.

Nicer interior, nicer ride, more rear passenger space and looks better as well.

Think the front end looks pretty decent in person (so can see the lines come together), but at the same time, can see how it isn't as good as it could have been (still better than the ungainly front end of the Azera).

Based on the spy shots, the new K7 looks to get a better looking front clip (one which looks to be more attractive than the new Optima which is less attractive than its predecessor).

Look at you pulling up all these "old discussions". You don't come around here enough!

Yeah, I feel the same way. I'm really anxious to see what the new Cadenza is like. I already love the current version. I liked the Amanti as well. When do you think the new generation will hit showrooms?

^ Ha, ha.

More or less don't go into the main Genesis section, so didn't see this until after you guys rejiggered the section order.

The Amanti? C'mon now, Sal.

Let me tell you something, sex criminal. I have wealthy friends. The kind of wealthy friends that ask each other, "What did you buy today?" - and the answer is usually something like, "a helicopter", "a small island", or "The New York Yankees"... And I remember having a Kia Amanti about 5 years ago as a rental car in New York - they got in and loved it.

I know, I know. It's only a Kia. And it's only an Amanti. But they liked being a passenger in the car - and they even liked driving it. The Amanti was a pretty decent car. I can imagine how nice the Cadenza must be...

Definitely the KIA. Not in love with the front clip, but the interior and dash is a world ahead.

Yeah, that dash is really nice...

Okay, WHO gave the Hyundai Azera one vote?!

LOL! Sorry, but still...

But yes, the Amanti had that old-school Buick ride which was nice for passengers, but the rest of it was old-school Buick as well (and as you know, I'm not a Buick basher - think Buick right now is on the right track).
