24 Family Sedan Comparo Test
« on: May 16, 2008, 12:18:27 pm »
This comparison looks at fully-loaded family sedans. Specifically, those from the 2008 model year  or newer that have a CarsDirect Target Price of below $28,000 while equipped with an engine that has at least 200 horsepower while mated to an automatic transmission, as well as heated power leather seats and a sunroof. The twenty-four cars that meet these criteria are listed at left.

Azera #1? Interesting, but I guess its a sensible choice depending on where you put your family car priorities.
You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!

Their methodology is flawed, because it doesn't "add up".  Add up all the scores out of ten, and some cars with a lesser total beat cars with a higher total.

Suspect methodology......

Agreed but this segment is so cluttered that you could make a really good case for a dozen of these cars....just depends on what you like. (And this test really seems like someone just telling you what he/she "likes.")
