Well, maybe it's pronounced, 'Areeeeeeeeza'

I couldn't take any commercial seriously in which they pronounced it that way.

It's probably "Ah-ray-sa".

New pics:



Let me be the first to say that they really screwed this up. The current XG350 looks more upscale than this, on the outside. This new one has a weak-looking front end, rather similar to an old I35, and an ugly rear end straight from an Accord or an older Saturn L1. The roofline is nice, but the car looks poor in its profile largely because of its fender bulge in the back.

I like the look of the new Sonata and the current XG. Why couldn't they have done this one right?

Better new pics. It looks better, but still too bland:

I would think so too. This car looks okay, but it's too much Accord in the rear and not enough unique anywhere.
