Having said all that, I only have one automatic in my garage, as I prefer cars with three pedals.

I noticed Kia borrowed the Sonata's dash design for the 2016 Optima. I don't think that's a good thing, as I liked the old Optima's dash and the Sonata's (and now the Optima's) is kinda boring, although the layout of the controls is simple.
The 1.6T engine would be my choice for either the Sonata or Optima. I'd love to see Hyundai drop that motor into the all-new 2017 Elantra, but alas while it's getting a turbo option it's only 1.4L--but it will have the 7-speed DCT. (And yes, it's still in the mid-size EPA class, like earlier Elantras and like the Civic and Corolla.)
Also announced is a platinum model that seems to be the old loaded Titanium plus nicer/more leather.
The rest is pretty much unchanged except for a few styling tweaks:

Brian's right that most families won't care about the 300+ HP, but they might care about AWD, lots of tech, very nice fitments and a domestic product to buy, with a dealer just down the street. Ford must have..what...3X the number of Toyota dealers and perhaps 4X Nissan dealers?

My mileage over the year has averaged a shade over 30 mpg with 60/40 hwy/city driving. Power with the 4 cyl is enough for me and I love the mileage. Car is still tight with no rattles or wind leaks. Nothing to complain about with it, which is just how I like it. Not exciting to drive, but I'll trade that for no-drama reliability all day long. It did great on vacation with plenty of trunk room and I didn't get overly tired on the few 12 hour driving days.
Overall, a very good Honda experience. Since I tend to keep cars for 10+ years, I'm happy with this choice.

I also know a couple of people that have Jukes, and love them. Both women, though I suspect that is 98% of the owners of that. I like the concept, just a bit overstyled for my taste.

In regards to the Maxima, I owned an '01 and loved it. But the new ones look too large and bulky for my taste. And I'm really surprised they changed out that sweet V6 engine for a CVT.

Was a bit surprised at the smallish changes in the new Altima, very hard to tell the differences in the new model. We have a lot of them at work and folks seem to like them just the same.

It was a street driving assessment; though it was a longer rental period so I had chances to exercise it some as my S4 was in the shop. Let me put it this way. I think you know I have no love lost for GM. I traded this rental into Hertz for a Camaro RS rental special for my track weekend due the the S4 being out of commission.
Part of the problem was it had like 50K miles as a rental perhaps, and it also smelled of cigarettes (which I hate). In the end for the track weekend they may have been equally fun cars. Lots of people said a Focus would have been more fun despite the low power output it apparently has a solid chassis.
Year 1(10 months) - 28.1 (10800 miles), Year 2 - 27.3 (9500 miles), Year 3 - 28.0 (9200 miles).
Bill was $120, but there was an oil change/tire rotation special (-$18), rebate($10 into my owner advantage acct, ), had a free oil change coming (-$48), so I got out of there for less than $40.
Also got a ride to work and picked up when it was done.
