Cabin materials are competitive, with plenty of glitz in the show car: piano blacks, chrome accents, soft leather. Still, product chief Mike O’Brien said the Azera will compete with front-drive, entry luxury sedans alongside traditional full-sizers. So think Acura TL, Buick LaCrosse, Lexus ES 350. The latest trend among the entry-premium crowd is to throw some leather — or faux leather — atop the dash. I’m surprised the Azera didn’t go that route.
