The acceleration is smooth and powerful, which surprised me. It cruises all day at 85 mph, and can pass other, supposedly superior vehicles effortlessly. Truly a joy to drive! My only problem is keeping my speed down to avoid a ticket.
The ride is not only reminiscent of a true luxury car, it is also extremely quiet. At 85 mph you can still appreciate the exquisite sound system without turning up the volume. It feels like they put an Azera nameplate on a Mercedes Benz by mistake!
The styling is more European than Asian. In fact, I have had several friends remark that from a distance it looks like a Mercedes Benz, and I agree.
