According to what I’ve read, these are actually quite nice. Thoughts?

Speaking of self centered license plates, I saw this one a few weeks ago:

(It says “Estoril,” if you can’t see it)

It should be noted that I prefer the E36 to the Azera.

I wonder why they named it after a women’s razor.

Indeed, they are really nice. And so is its twin, the Kia Cadenza. They fall in the “near-luxury” segment.

As far as the Korean luxury hierarchy, I think it’s:

Hyundai Equus
Hyundai Genesis / Kia K900
Hyundai Azera / Kia Cadenza

Super Target in Apex (at Beaver Creek), right next to Lowes.

What are the car prospects looking like?

I’ve convinced my mother to sell the TrailBlazer (I’ll post about it later) so my car budget has jumped from $2,000 to $6,000.

For a few seconds this made me really happy, until she declared that the replacement must be either an SUV or a larger sedan (because dogs.)

I’ve started looking at Nissan X-Terra’s, XJ Jeep Cherokee’s, Volvo XC70’s, Lexus LS400’s and Mercedes 420SEL’s.

I’m trying to convince her that her Equinox is perfectly fit for dog hauling, that I should get a Miata or an E46 BMW 325i.

I’d much rather have the latter (Miata or E46), but my mother would rather that I have the former (the first list).

At this point, nearly everything is better than the TrailBlazer, though.

On a different note; how are you liking Boone and the E34?

They look nice. Also, I don’t have a picture, but I did see the Indiana “AZERA” plate down on the IU campus a year or two ago.

Maybe there’s an elite group of 50 Azera owners nationwide who all got the same license plates, and have secret Azera meetings.

Wait...are Hyundai Azera owners part of the Illuminati?

E46 325/330iT? wagon is always the answer if miata isn’t the answer. even though miata is the answer since what dog wouldnt love riding shotgun in a vert?

Hyundai has sold out to razor companies. How sad.

e39 wagon? I actually got mine so I can haul baby + 2 giant dogs (oh and wife), works great for road trips. 540i is not going to happen at that budget but i think the 528 came in a wagon + stick...

I haven’t even thought about the E39. Thanks, because I really like E39’s.
