Five Cars That Lose Value Fast

I think the Azera will be discontinued, or replaced next year. The Genesis and Sonata are so completely separated from the design and approach of the Azera.
The cars following the Azera were the Kia Amanti, Kia Optima, Kia Rio and Kia Rondo. I think this article was just an easy attack on foreign (Korean) cars.

The Azera is getting redesigned following the fluidic sculpture styling. There have been spy shots already. I don't know when it'll go on sale.
