Editor's note: This review was written in July 2008 about the 2008 Hyundai Azera. This year's Azera gains much-needed USB integration to make its stereo compatible with iPods and other MP3 players. To see what else is new for 2009, click, or check out a of the two model years. With the faster, more luxurious Genesis grabbing headlines at Hyundai these days, some have openly wondered about the future of the brand's erstwhile flagship.

That's a shame: The Azera delivers the sort of comfort and quality a large sedan ought to offer — and, in typical Hyundai fashion, its price is hard to beat. Introduced two years ago to replace the XG 350, the Azera comes in GLS and Limited trims for 2008. Hyundai has discontinued the midlevel Azera SE; to see a comparison between the '07 and '08 models. I drove an '08 Limited. Exterior & Styling Stately but forgettable, the Azera's styling may be its biggest limiter.

It follows Hyundai lineage — I parked next to a newish Sonata, and the Azera seemed, appropriately enough, like a gussied-up version of its midsize sibling. I just question if that's a good thing: Hyundai's styling legacy smacks of bulbous takes on whatever Toyota and Honda are churning out. The Genesis shows signs of breaking that mold.

The Azera, with its conservative 10-spoke wheels and old-school taillight bar, does not. One Cars.com editor found the look agreeable, and it's worth noting that few competitors hit it out of the park when it comes to styling. Even in this class, though, looks can play a major role — note the Chrysler 300 — and compared to the rest, the Azera blends in a bit too well. Cabin Quality Conservative styling translates well in the cabin, whose mild contours and high beltline should find few detractors. The dash tries nothing new — it's the same dome-and-shelf routine that's been around since the early 1990s — but it's agreeable in a way the Toyota Avalon's airport-hanger dash isn't.

Overall quality rivals an Avalon or Buick Lucerne, which is to say it's premium but not quite at luxury-car levels. Dashboard panels fit tightly and feel soft to the touch, and most controls — save the, which I'll get to later — click and turn with solid precision. I'm still a sucker for electroluminescent gauges, and the blue and white ones in the Limited look Lexus-sharp. (Conventional gauges go in the Azera GLS. Bah.) The faux wood and imitation metal trim are sparing enough to provide an appropriate touch, though I'd like to see chrome door handles instead of the Azera's silver plastic ones. I'd also like to see Hyundai swap the Elantra-grade window switches for some of the well-tailored ones in the Genesis. Viewtiful Joe Iso Ps2 Jpnj there.

On par with such luxury ilk is the 605-watt, 12-speaker Infinity stereo. It's optional on the Limited, and in my test car it cranked out rich, high-fidelity audio. Alas, it doesn't have an auxiliary input jack for portable MP3 players, something most cars these days have.

Hyundai spokesman Miles Johnson told me the '09 Azera will offer a full USB hookup for iPods and the like. New for 2008 is an optional navigation system supplied by electronics maker LG. It's the same one offered in the Santa Fe and Veracruz SUVs; the one in the '09 Sonata is a separate system, of which you can read my impressions. The LG unit doesn't feel as slick: Its buttons flex and wriggle in a way the climate controls don't, and usability is so-so. The zoom-in/zoom-out controls are physical buttons rather than onscreen ones, and there are clever functions like a route preview screen with turn-by-turn directions. I'd trade both for some other features that are lacking, such as an intersection finder that lets you input the city, more street names on the map and a screen that's angled steeper so sunlight doesn't wash it out so easily. I can't argue with the price, however.
