  • Land Rover DC100 (revised) concepts, live photos

  • 2012 Hyundai Azera

    Hyundai’s Azera near-luxury sedan represents a significant milestone in the brand’s history, as it was the very first Hyundai model to creep above the $30,000 price barrier.

Despite the car’s significance, the current design dates back to 2006, and sales in the United States reflect the model’s age. In 2006, Hyundai sold some 26,833 Azeras in the U.S., but by 2010 that number had plummeted to just...
