The front-wheel-drive Hyundai Azera is a car with a very focused mission, but it takes its reason for being to an extreme. It's pretty much catered perfectly to those who value ride over handling, and interior space over flashy design; with GM trying to change Buick's image in the United States to make it more youthful, the Azera seems to be occupying that brand's geriatric portion of the market--appealing to penny-pinching empty-nesters who want a big, comfortable highway cruiser.
