00:08 We think Hyundai even forgive you if you've never heard of Azera.

00:12 It's front drive, near luxury sedan that faded into the background as cars like

00:16 Genesis, Sonata, and Elantra have all taken center stage over the past few years.

00:22 But now, here at the LA Auto Show, it's Azera's turn to shine.

00:26 And it comes sporting a version of Hyundai's fluidic sculpture design theme,

00:30 which at once looks fresh, expensive, and unmistakably Hyundai.

00:35 The 2012 Azera still comes with one power train option,

00:38 a 3.3 liter V6, mated to a six speed automatic transmission.

00:43 But the good news is, thanks to the addition of direct injection power is now

00:47 293 horsepower and 23 MPG combined.

00:52 The Azera's impressive cabin features leather, navigation,

00:57 rear view camera, and nine airbags as standard equipment.

01:01 Now that the Azera's back in the game, Hyundai is targeting the Buick LaCrosse,

01:06 the Ford Taurus, and the Lexus ES.

01:09 Expect to see the Azera in Hyundai showrooms in February at a price of

01:13 around $30,000.
