Some people say the E-Type Jag lost something when the sweet-singing inline 3.8 liter (later 4.2 liter) in-line six was replaced (in 1971) with a more relaxed-fit 5.3 liter V-12 ....
2011 Hyundai Sonata
When the 2011 Sonata appeared in my driveway, shiny black and handsome-looking - I initially thought it was the Genesis, Hyundai's top-of-the-line sedan.
