Was published today in the Tribune. Quite positive to the Azera and to Hyundai in general.

" Hyundai hopes to capitalize on the latest J.D. Power and Associates buyer retention study. Hyundai finished fifth among those who would buy the brand again.

Its 56 percent retention rate put it behind Toyota and Lexus, tied at 63 percent; Honda at 60 percent and Chevrolet at 57 percent. But it was ahead of Ford at 54 percent, Mercedes-Benz at 53 percent and BMW at 50 percent.

The study shows consumers don't feel they have to apologize for or rationalize buying a Hyundai."

He makes an interesting statement about how people still percives Hyundai vehicles. Even though the Azera is probably the best car in its class out there for your money, consumers will still have trouble percieving the concept of luxury with Hyundai.....so I think it'll take a bit longer until the memory of the old Hyundai goes away...
