looking into the possibility. It's not something available by default in the admin cp.

The Sonata doesn't have the interior to go up against the Verano. If back seat spaciousness isn't a concern, the Verano wins that one hands down. The Verano is in a new class, one that values comfort and quality over speed and size, and gets there at a reasonable price. The Verano has nicer interior materials, especially on the center console, than the Lacrosse I'm driving has. I sat in all of the Hyundais, Sonata and lower and came away with two impressions: 1. They all about the "flair" while missing the basic details. Sure you can get heated seats in the back of an Elantra, but the sun visors feel like the vinyl out of a 1978 Ford F-150, the head liner makes the "mouse fur" of GM's past look luxurious, the plastic materials are sub-par though attractively designed, and the whole car has a tinny feel to it. 2. Sitting in all of the corresponding Kias directly after leads you to wonder which of the two brands is really suppose to be the "up market" one.

Excellent writeup MudMonster. Now that Ford is down to just two brands, I think they can afford to give Lincoln an exclusive platform or two, and they need to hop on it!

I'm surprised you let go of the regal too. Did something happen to it?

Shop it around on price AND deductible. I got a $0 deductible, 4 year, unlimited mileage warranty on my 3.4 DOHC Cutlass Convertible for $2,000 and laughed all the way to the next repair shop. I knew I was going to need it.... you've gotta love those cars to put up with them.

I think it's an easier seal to make, but imagine if they put a blacked out panel there like they did at the back of the greenhouse on the Sebring and Cruze. But it's not like there isn't precedent for something like that at GM: Or Ford:
