📰 Auto News Checking out the Hyundai Equus in person

[MACH OH 1]

no matter which way you look at it, its still a Hyundai. and Hyundai's were made for budget class. i don't think people are going to spend 100g's on this when they sell other Hyundai's for like 10k new. its too big of a difference for an affordable car. it would be like Mercedes coming out with a 15,000 sedan. just doesn't work in my opinion.

i would never buy a hyndai for more than 30k its a cheap throw away economy car y are they going for luxury status? just copy other automakers damn style as usual

Toyota did it with lexus

how about nissan and infinity

Those are all the same cars for the most part but higher end materials.

they are trying to create a luxury brand. There not gonna just go out and add new dealers and whatever else without testing out the market.

True but they are different lines of cars... they should just stick to economy. I would personally be embarrassed to buy a luxury Hyundai because for the same price u can have a Benz or bmw and you know you are getting quality with the name and power...

Toyota started out shitty, so did nissan and Honda, But they all have luxury brands. Why not Hyundai? They are actually ranked one of, if not, the best managed companies. I think they know what they are doing.

"because it's a hyundai"

Seriously? Do some research.

No, you know you're getting a NAME and a BADGE with the money you'd spend on the equivalent BMW or Benz. Quality? Um--no.. Look where BMW and Benz are rated on reliability. Then look where Hyundai is.

Have you actually driven a Hyundai lately? But you drive a Honda, so I'm not surprised.

They don't really put badges on their vehicles for their home-market. People there don't buy the car for the badge, and people don't need the badge to tell them it's a good car.

the genesis / genesis coupe are getting outstanding reviews and i'm sure the equus will continue the trend. hyundai has come a long way

Oh helllll yes! This will be amaaazing if it's true!

Citing an unnamed source "close to the project," InsideLine is reporting that Hyundai plans to bring the Equus super-sedan to the States within the next two to three years. According to the insider, "... you wouldn't be too far off if you said the car was coming to the United States. Our chairman wants it."

Although the news doesn't come as a complete surprise, particularly considering Hyundai brought out an Equus to this week's New York Auto Show, the biggest hurdle to overcome is price. In its current form, the Equus starts at around $96,000, putting it squarely up against such high-dollar machinery as the Audi A8, BMW 7 series, Lexus LS and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Hyundai knows it's not ready to swim with the whale sharks of the luxury world, so it's hoping to get the sticker closer to $50,000 when equipped with the automaker's 5.0-liter V8 and new eight-speed transmission.
