The Best Full-Size Cars for 2011

Because your grandparents have to go places too, and they just don’t make the Chrysler Newport anymore.

Fehlio’s Choice: Hyundai Genesis V6
BWAAAHHHHH.
The jury is still out on Hyundai’s attempt at a Lexus, but you can count me on the side that thinks it’s brilliant. It looks great, has a fantastically well-done interior, and costs tens of thousands less than you think it would. If you can get something nicer at this price, then do it.

Alternately: Toyota Avalon
This is the flattering angle. Trust me.
The Toyota Avalon doen’t provide an “engaging” drive, but it does provide a damn good one. There’s room for, like, 11 people, it goes from 0-60 about as fast as a VW GTI, and returns about the same mileage. It’s a shame than a car this good is wasted on grandmas.

Please Don’t: Hyundai Azera
Check it out! This is still a thing!
Unless you can get an amazing deal (which you probably can) there is no reason to buy this over a Sonata or a Genesis V6. It isn’t really a bad car, it’s just the definition of obsolescence. Probably still better than a V6 Chrysler 300 or Impala though, now that I think of it.
