What vehicle will be a worthy replacement for your sedan when it is time?

The Jaguar I-Pace would be that car, if it weren't for the $70k sticker. But all reviews point to the car itself being the real deal.
Sat in a Kona yesterday... meh. The Kia Soul EV however, that was damn cute, practical & affordable. Not that I personally want a cute car.
Speaking of Kia, sat in the Stinger GT again, and gave it another long look. Whatever good vibes I had about that car when it came out, they're gone. Just like that, LOL.

1st you like the Guilia all of a sudden and now you don't like the Stinger. Glad to see we are finally in agreement. What took you so long?

I think the off-putting strangeness in the Alpha's design took a while for me to appreciate. And I think the components that make up the Stinger's design impressed me at first, but now it just looks awkward.

I sat in one at the Autoshow over her recently...ended up feeling the same..something about the interior that I just found off putting and downscale...I was a bit surprised because all the youtube videos I've seen of it it seems pretty nice.... I didn't feel the same way about the Genesis G70 at all though...its interior felt so much nicer..I wasn't expecting there to be such a big difference in feel given the car's shared platform...

I wish the G70 was a hatch. I think it is a good size, the weight could be less. One of the redeeming things about the stinger is that it is a hatch. I have thought of the Toyota CU next tuesday for the fuel econ and dual injectors, but damn that thing is big. It would be better with 6 inches lopped off and a better front end.

I felt the Hyundai Sonata's interior was very rewarding, and the overall design pretty darn appealing. Not that I aspire to own a Sonata, just saying... damn fine sedan.
The Kia Optima, however, after a brief model run that turned heads, it's just another disposable car these days.

The G70 is on the list to replace my wife's Accord in the next 18-24 months as I'd like to sneak something by that doesn't suck to drive

It is a Mid Sized Car that they make, but it isn't good to say such things in polite society. The full name is a Toyota C

It would be like an Altima, but built by Toyota with a 2.5L 4 cyl with both port and direct injection.

I still don't know what vehicle you're talking about. I work for Toyota. The only 4 cylinder D4S injection we have is in the camry at this time

Oddly enough, Genesis wasn't at this Autoshow. Probably because it's only representative of local dealerships, and we don't have a Genny dealership, just three Hyundai locations.

Are you talking about the current Sonata or pictures of the new one you have seen that was just released in Geneva?
