New $30K Midsize Sedans Look'n Upscale
bored so i'm gonna post a Timpo 99% picture thread. I've noticed how 'recently' announced midsize family sedans are looking so sporty and comparable to $50K cars from just a generation ago.
Impala
M6
Accord (most conservative change but still beautiful)
Fusion
dat Aston grille makes all the difference
comparsion

I think the latest gen Accord is the closest thing to a perfect family sedan.

The impala was so long over due for a refresh it was getting ridiculous -- I'd literally spend half my day being asked "What year is this thing?" when customers got into a 2012 impala. Such a POS
lol, look at the temperature adjustment -- it's like its out of a 1995 insert-domestic-car-name

Slightly off topic:
Was SUPER excited to see the new interiors in the 2015 GM SUV's......ended up just as disappointed as I was with the previous gen.  .

Seriously what's up with GM and Chevy? Ford up'd their interior game half a decade ago. How hard is it to update your shit.

I was just thinking the same thing. The new Accord is actually pretty for an appliance. Mazda 6 looks decent as well.

Let's not forget about Hyundai/Kia. Peter Schreyer has been doing great things since he was brought aboard.
Never mind that it's gorgeous. Who ever thought we'd ever being paying over $30K for a car from a company whose past models are absolute rubbish?

I had in mind cars designed in the last 12 months or else the Genesis would've definitely made the list.
Optima is a great modern-looking car and lightyears ahead of its predecessors but it still doesn't seem upscale to me like the Mazda 6 for example.

Yeah, the designs are great and all but what about fit and finish and quality of materials used? That's where most cars have always lacked; except the ones that last more than 5 years without becoming disposable junk.

Saw a pearl white Mazda 6 GT the other day with the front lip on it and it is a great looking car the front and front quarters view. I have no need for something so large but if I were it'd be hard to pass it up (the almond leather is fantastic too).

to each their own...i think the looks of the new mazda 6 is less than stellar against the other sedans (tied with the accord)...i like the looks of the optima better...

The Optima is definitely interesting to look at for a car of its class, but the design is a bit polarizing. I can see it becoming dated faster than some of the more traditionally designed, conservative competitors. The side vents are pretty gaudy as well..
