this thing is ugly, look at the wheels they look like theyre 16" ,and the hood ornament and head lights look terrible. Also, at the end of the day it's still a HYUNDAI
@Mrtruimphchopper My dear impersonator.(I'm MrTrIUmphchopper,note the diff in spelling). I suggested to you previously there is help for you snake loving nerds,geeks and freaks. Why do you fight mental health. It's even FREE for those who qualify, such as yourself. Give it a whirl.Your troubled mind will thank you.
Common is a Hyundai. Made in Korea. When you want to spend those kind of money you go in Europe for the right car. hundred time better a Mercedes class E or a BMW 5 series. Also the citroen C6 is better than this
@apocevil I feel sorry for you for judging how good a car must be because of the badge on it. I've driven one of these immediately after a jaguar XJ, and I have to say that even though it's $20K cheaper, I still preferred the korean equus, and I've always been a jag man. Besides that, this was actually built to compete with the S-class and the 7-series. If I had to choose which of the 4 I listed here to buy, it would be the equus. No doubt.
@lightssmith can i ask why? it is your opinion and you've driven them all so i would rally like to get your insight, never been a big jag fan regardless
Hyundai is so crappy, and who would actually spend more than 50K on a Hyundai?? There are so many nicer cars out there, at that price you could buy a BMW 5 series or a Mercedes E350, much nicer than a lousy Hyundai wannabe car. Plus all of Hyundai's copying is disgusting, the Sonata totally ripped off the nice Merc CLS, and now this equus rips off lexus ls and mercedes s class. Hyundai become originial!!
@len0808 and that statement is coming from someone who doesn't know anything about cars......overpriced...maybe I could agree a little with that part..
@len0808 hahahahahahahahahahhaha you sound like a remarkable moron....then i noticed your name of corvette and realized its not your fault, german engineering on cars is among the most suburb in all the world and the cost of the car is a direct reflection of the quality that is put into it, for instance bmw prices its 3 series at 35k the 328i sedan is a 4 cylinder car which has a output of 220 bhp, where as the dodge viper is a v10 with 550 bhp....ahahah
@len0808 10 cylinder car with 550 is beyond laughable, along with this the new camaros claim to fame is "independent suspension" wait the thing eurpean car makers have been doing for 40 years? haha
Why is Hyundai copying other luxury car manufacturers, it so so obvious and disqusting. The only good thing i see about the Equus is that is has a little bit of every luxury car on the market right now, for those people that can't decide on what to buy.
I like cars in general. I don't discriminate just due to its origin. As an American, of course I want GM to be successful. I used to have a poster of Corvette on my wall as a child.
But now I see why you would want to defend this car. You are an American? I doubt it, most likely an immigrant. Your Korean sounds way too natural for an American born.
And as I thought, you can't speak Japanese.
How did you read the Japanese magazines without knowing much about Japanese then? Hmm?
BTW, just to let you know, I myself am a Japanese, and can speak the language fluently without a single problem obviously.
And I can read Korean without a problem as well. And I know you are an actual Korean. That sentence is quite natural, that looks nothing like a translation program.
With that in your mind, now, go ahead? You can read Japanese, right?
ROFL!! Now you are being totally delusional. Do you want to see a review of a man who did Genesis Coupe? He stated a WRX(My car:D) can smoke a Genesis Coupe. Do you want to see it? Simple, ask me!
And Equus never was tested nor is it even on sale yet on North America. So your so called "professional magazines and reviews" stuff gives a lot of credibility to yourself now, huh? LOL!
NSX used to be ok...lol that shows a lot about your car knowledge. NSX still remains to be one of the best supercars out there, and many people wish for the return of it. I wouldn't really think anyone would greatly miss Genesis Coupe even if it was gone. Many poor people who can't afford a 370Z nor G37 would, but no one else.
So, are you going to pay 70k for an Equus? Sorry buddy, it is not 40k. You want to pay 40k? Stick with Genesis sedan, and let people know you got no cash.
All Honda cars are SLOW. HYUNDAI owners today are insulted when their car are confused with HONDA. GC=Style, luxury, power to control, dollar for power, It is the next Generation. HONDA can not keep up so they don't make sports car anymore.
Hyundai Motors is bigger than NISSAN, HONDA, MAZDA and MITSUBISH all put together and their biggest factory is in the USA.
And I'm sorry, if you know anything about Honda history, Honda has NSX, which appealed to many celebrities including Bill Gates, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebrities, even the designer of McLaren F1(In fact, NSX even inspired him to build F1), all thanks to the Honda F1 technology. How many celebrities or famous people buy a Genesis Coupe? As far as I know, none.
And also, absolutely no F1 technology like Honda NSX on GC. GC is for people who can't afford G37 or 370Z.
Oh, many pro sports players and UFC fighters. I see, who are they?
And the quality of the car is irrelevent to celebrity...lol I'm sorry, a McLaren F1 designer himself is good enough for the mention here, and I don't remember Hyundai making a single F1 car, nor were they ever in one. Did you know Hyundai kept losing WRC, so they got out? Subaru also struggled, but they stayed and look who is the most famous in WRC?
You idiots, When Lexus came out it wasn't just simply cheaper then the competition (like what Hyundai is doing here) but the Lexus actually had 300 patents and was a far more developed and a technological superior car to the Germans, and ofcoarse it wasnalso cheaper.. But my point here is that what has hyundai developed that is new? Other then just get what is available and cramp it in this ugly looking car and sell it for cheap labour
@kaiji32003 : of course. Just like what lexus did with bmw and mbz design, earlier infiniti and jaguare. It is called design trend. Even nissan z series were inspired by porsche.
I am thinking about trading in my MBZ S500 for nicely equipped Genesis or Equus. Why? Great product and warranty. Also it will save me time and money from maintenance cost and multiple trips to the service shop.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS : People will still recognize my presence when I drive this $40k luxury sedan because they are already used to see me in my Infiniti, Lexus, and my latest car MBZ S class. Now I have the Genesis Sedan, six months later, I am going to get GC. (With cash, ofcourse). GC should be a fun project car. I want the V6 GC and plan to put twin turbo mod and couple other things. I love my car collection.
this 40k luxury sedan...? I'm sorry, but it seems you are quite ignorant about Equus. Equus the Ultimate version(the top notch version) will get around 70k, and this car has no reason to be priced around 40k when Genesis sedan costs that much. So, sorry, it seems your ignorance got you. You will need an extra 30k to shed, or be happy with a base model Hyundai Equus. And let people know you are now having an economic trouble.
When Lexus LS was first introduced, this made Mercedes-Benz and BMW go nuts, since Lexus LS was the first car that did not cause any kind of vibration on the hood when the engine is on. You'd know what I mean by seeing the commercial of the first model of LS' engine being turned on, and a bunch of glass cups on the hood. But they are not shaking, at all. People accused Lexus of making a false commercial, but it turned out it was true.
Oh, nothing much, since the first generation of Hyundai Equus was built by MITSUBISHI MOTORS. Should I keep going?
Anyway, now I can see what kind of consumers go after a garbage car like this Equus. The people who are ignorant about the prices(And they'd avoid it once they know the price of it). There are some people like you who think it'd be that cheap. Just like the typical Hyundai owners are cheap people.
And the people who think Hyundai makes some fast cars. Seriously?
If you'll notice, the Equus has a wing motif incorporated in it's styling, not instantly recognizable. Look at the shapes of the lights,the exhaust, and the dashboard. Subtle and elegant and original. The hints of Buick in the grille and creased fenders is probably an allusion from as far back as the 1940's when Buick was the most admired car in Europe and especially among Asians. Everybody who was anybody owned Buicks back when. It was the choice of celebrities,stars, and even royalty!
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS They use to laugh at Toyota's too, and look at what happened. As an aside, don't be fooled by badge-engineered toyotas being marketed and sold as lexus.It's a rip-off pure and simple,and potential customers should be made aware of this fraudulent method of doing business in the USA.Seems Toyota has been having a hard time keeping it's ass outta hot water.And finally let it be known that you couldn't use the Jaws of Life to pry me out of my Cadillac CTS V-series!!! Drive one!
It's clear you don't even know how Lexus was created. When Lexus LS was introduced, the German companies felt threatened by the fact that Lexus LS was so quiet. There is a commercial of LS with a bunch of glass cups on the hood, and running the engine. And yet, those glass cups never fall down by the vibration of the engine. People criticized because that is "impossible", but later on, it turned out it really was true.
And Lexus is currently the best selling luxury brand in the U.S., and the reason is simple, because it's the most advanced luxury brand. Even the current Ford CEO drives a Lexus LS460 and called it the finest automobile in the entire world. Also, Lexus RX is the one that set a new class, called "crossover". BMW copied it and made an X3. And if Lexus is fraud, then I think GM and Chrysler are already past "criminal" levels. Ever wondered why they went bankrupt?
BTW, Lexus LX is basically a Lexus version of Toyota Land Cruiser, which is used by the U.N. officials, Saudi Royal families and W.H.O. officials who need to go to desert and/or the war zones. No one uses a GM's pseudo-SUV, since they know it's a piece of garbage.
Cadillac CTS, is based on the Australian Sigma platform. More like, what GM car except for Corvette is purely American now? You do realize the fact that the American muscle is DEAD, corrrect?
I've wanted to give Cadillac CTS-V a chance, but as I thought, reliability has not improved, at all. On the Edmunds website, I "already" see the owners complaining about the reliability of the car.
On top of that, now most of GM cars are just rebadged cars, not even purely American. Even the new Camaro was engineered by the Australians.
Non-American and unreliable? Who the hell would wanna drive a GM except for Corvette and Escalade?
I'm so tired of the people crying about brand recognition. Those people know NOTHING about cars. Hyundai is being extremely aggressive in the world market and if other automakers don't pay attention or think their brand cache will be enough, they are certain to loser their lunches. Well done Hyundai.
who cares how aggressive they are in the world. They have a place. Decent cars made cheap.
They're gonna find that people with money to buy this overpriced peice; that they would rather own the recognizable big names. I would never tell anyone I spent 60grand on a Hyundai.
But brands matter when you'r spending a lot of cash.
Chrysler got it right with the 300. An expensive looking car, that is well afordable.
It's just like that stupid Volkwagon Passat. It may look like a mercedes, but It will never be. It doesn't fool anyone. You sire are an idiot. Go ahead, purchase this car. We will laugh at you when you roll by.
Hyundai can garner such acclaim, but it has to be with a more original design. This car looks like the lexus 460.
LOL you just contradicted yourself. Seems to me like you just have a seething hate for foreign cars. But hey, you're right. Chrysler is doing fine... oh wait.
the success of the 300 came way too late. But still their best selling car.
Even though the company is sold to Fiat*, they are still producing new models. There is the 2011 design floating around in magazines. I would rather buy the 300 than this over priced crap.
Hey buddy, to each their own. I drove the 300C which has a lot of power but has a SHIT suspension. And before you jump on my back, I drove it at a Chrysler promotional event on an autocross course. The thing SUCKS. It's a nice cruiser, but it's very typical of chryslers. Drove the Magnum as well, which was a little more impressive but still had a shit suspension as well. The 300 Touring or SRT 8 model might be a better I hear.
Anyway, don't go hating before you try the damned thing (hyundai).
lexus/benz? dumbass if you are trying it's more like infiniti~!! not that it resembles anyhow.. back light/front/interior designs I can't say it's fantastic but it doesn' look like and copied from any other cars.. dumbass ppl saying it and they never drove Hyundai..
well, you spend 80 thousand on this piece, and when you drive by all proud we can laugh at you.
And don't try to remov the original H badges and place on the wannabe bently emblems either, to cover up what you bought to fool people.
IT looks nice, yes it has some competitive features. But the point in buying a brand or styling that isn't exactly like the big names is.... YOU DON'T PAY THE PRICE OF NAME BRAND.
That's what GM/chevy thought of toyota/lexus and look what happened. As long as people express views like you about Hyundai, the better it is for Hyundai in a strange way.
Hyundai has every right to rise to the top, but don't give us similar things already being done, work at it a while, I just feel this is too fast for their bridges.
BMW don't look like Mercedes and neither look like Lexus. But how is this car original?
I believe* if your not original, then your a substitute for whats already out there and there for should lower your price to compete.
Heres my one true compliment... I just thought of this. I feel this sedan makes any of infiniti's sedan designs look obsolete.. but the price is still out of competition range.
If you would like to choose this slow, Lexus LS copycat car over any Infiniti, then go ahead. My father's Infiniti M performs more like a sports car, this Lexus LS wannabe doesn't. And if you have ever seen any Infiniti in real life, or owned one, then you wouldn't even think this copycat looks nice or anything.
And I agree with your pricing point. This car is even more expensive than an Acura RL, and it will be almost as expensive as Lexus LS. Who's gonna buy this garbage?
Lexus quality dropped = In your dreams. When was the last time Lexus LS, the very flagship that can define the brand Lexus has been under quality issues?
And I guess you don't know much about Lexus LS' history as well. LS at least actually set a standard. Equus? Never did. It's coming out soon, but it will only appeal to people who have no money to buy an LS or S class.
BTW, should I tell you about the new Hyundai strategy? Hyundai announced to publically release their new world strategy at the Detroit Motor Show, and they said their brand will be an "Attainable Premium Brand", meaning, "all" Hyundai car models will be priced higher than any Honda or Toyota cars, but lower than Lexus or Mercedes-Benz.
Meaning, all Hyundai cars, will be a lot more expensive.
Good luck paying so much for a overpriced non-status symbol. Ciao.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS : Look at how many recalls Toyota had in last 5 years. Listen to the scream of the guy who could not stop his ES going 90mph until he crash and die+3. I watched a Japanese documentary about how Toyota pressured OEM companies to meet the quota at any cost. With almost no profit for OEMs and quota requirements, they started to cut corners and QA became less important. I read both Japanese and Korean magazine. You seem pissed. Is it because you can't afford Gen or EQ.
Hahaha now you are getting all personal, aren't you? I sound pissed? I'm sorry, I own Infiniti M and Subaru Impreza WRX. It seems you can't take the truth, can you? Well of course, because you are trying so hard deserately to defend this garbage maker just to justify that you have money but in fact, you don't.
And sorry, Toyota's big recall started only about a year ago, not 5 years, and unintended acceleration thing turned out to be drivers' fault. Ever seen the news lately?
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS: M is for people who never had the oppertunity to own Q45. QX4 is better than WRX.
5 years. I am looking at my magazine right now. One false claim and over 500 claims won. I don't have to justify anything. What I have is what I have. That is for sure. I have 3 houses more than most people. I have 2 more Masters Degrees than most people. I have 2 more zero on my pay than most people. Don't be a racist. I can see now that you only hate Korean made cars.
M is for people who don't need an SUV, and no one who wants a WRX would even care about QX, dumbfuck. Now I can see you are nothing but just a dumbass with tons of Hyundai love in your low level brain cells.
Oh ya, 3 houses. And the professional sportsplayers bought it? Why do you still avoid to answer? Give me the names, dumbass.
And what magazines or reviews were you talking about? Give me the names :)
And type that sentence I gave you in Korean and Japanese. :)
Type that sentence in Korean and Japanese, so that I know you are not lying. Because right now, most of stuff you said already have been proven to be false, and you are a dumbass liar.
Go ahead? Type it.
"I would like to subscribe to your channel, but it appears it is kind of hard to do it."
I will be waiting, dumbass liar :) Come on? Try to prove that you can actually read Japanese and Korean :)
Good job, you actually tried :) Do you know that the translation program doesn't really work out well on Japanese? And the word "subscribe" especially doesn't work out well, that's why I told you to say it.
And here we go. You say uh, you don't like my attitude? The last sentences are identifiable, but not the first ones. Why don't you try using a translation program on them and see what you get? LOL!
HAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry, son, but you already have been exposed. Let me go through step by step to tell you how much of a dumb liar you are.
度押してお子テルの?
(Does not even make any sense as a sentence. How do you say it? Tell me how you say it. Not in English, I mean the way you say it in Japanese.) ﾜﾀｼﾓ (This is a small kanji, which is unusual to be used in a sentence like this.)
車お酢気立て がん家じゃない いいじゃない 所がないですね。 あまり好きじゃない、語の態度が
(Translation program gives you sentences like this)
And you having one video in your channel, a Korean one, tells me a lot.
Meaning, most of the stuff, or all of them you said to me, are all lies.
Seriously buddy, drop it. I know you have been lying, and you are a liar. You can not speak Japanese, and you are a natural Korean who is so eager to defend this car, because Hyundai Accent is all the car you can afford.
@torius12 Some fixings for ya. jotto -> Chotto hitodachi -> hitotachi yozora means the night sky. So the blue night sky does not even make any sense. dabetai -> tabetai tomotachi -> tomodachi moichido -> mouichido and in Japanese, 天気が気紛れですが、良い人たちがいるから（correct sentence = 天気がちょっと悪いですが、良い人たちがたくさんいるので別に構いませんけど）。青い空、海。日本料理食べたい。友達が今無いですけど。もう一度行きたい。 Good luck with your Japanese study.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS : Cool, thanks Can you teach me more? Any other suggestions as far as learning Japanese? I can read some Kanji but not in the long form. I just like to know more about Asian culture and languages. I would love to just travel all over Japan, Korea, and China. May be I can get a job at NISMO division. Thanks.
I really don't know what you would want to know more, since it appears you know a lot of the basic Japanese words and can even form sentences. But if you have questions, then yes, I could help you.
Nismo? Are you telling me about the Japanese Nismo in Japan?
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS : Nissan is one of my favorite company. I think I drove 3 Nissan cars in the past. Maxima (90), Q45(93), QX4(97). I want to be a marketing manager for NISMO. 370Z is still going strong and I think it is a fun car to work on. Plus, sky is the limit in terms of modification goes. Along with other Japanese companies, Nissan has unlimited potential in China and the other Asian countries. p.s. My first car was Conquest TSI. What was yours?
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS : Although I have much interest in cars, I am not an engineer. I am more into Econ and Marketing. Somewhere in Asia. Japan would be nice. What do you think about 2008 G37 Journey for $25k? Is this a good deal? How does it ride? I am getting old so I like comfortable ride. Is it possible to have a car that is comfortable and powerful/exciting at the same time?
I have no idea how old you are, but if you can afford 25k for G37, then why not? My Infiniti M is quite comfortable and quite sporty at the same time, I would expect a lot more sportiness in G37. I've driven G37 2011 model before, but as far as I can remember, they drive almost the same, kind of.
And I don't know if there is a such thing as marketting job for Nismo since it's just a tuning division of Nissan. And a person with a Korean name would not be a good idea there as well.
I have heard about a Korean man married to a Japanese woman, but he was harrassed a lot by his Japanese co workers and in the end, he committed suicide.
And with the issues of 재일한국인(you know what it is, don't you?) aka Zainichi in Japanese, there certainly are Japanese people who do not like foreigners, especially Korean and Chinese.
I am not saying all Japanese are, but just telling you that Japan is not a multicultural country, and want you to have it in your mind.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS: I visited Japan several times but I had great time and made a lot of new friends. I showed respect and my willingness to learn and honor Asian culture reached out to them. Thanks for the advice though. I got to go. Hope to see you drive LFA one of these days (sincerely). Take care. Wish you the best!
LFA huh? Ya, I really do hope I could make that much money to have one. *sigh* I probably won't.
Good luck with your career. It may not be easy for you, but really, if you really want to, then I'm sure many Japanese people would try to help you out. All I'm saying is, take care of yourself.
But well, in the end, all that nationality issue wouldn't be much of a problem if you naturalize yourself into Japanese. In fact, the reason why the Japanese do not like the Zainichi people is the fact that they do not wish to become the Japanese citizens.
Do you swear to your mother and your father that you didn't use the translation program? Because I'm sorry, I know you did. If you try to use a translation program on Japanese, you get that kind of sentences that totally ignore the Japanese grammar. And you did.
And are you telling me that is the kind of Japanese you learned in school? Then I'm sorry, I'm surprised you can actually read the Japanese magazines! Because you shouldn't even be able to! LOL
So meaning, you are willing to throw away your parents for the sake of your lie. You didn't do anything to me, except for lying.
Grammars are not always enforced? I'm sorry, the grammars you used are NOT EVEN CORRECT, THEY ARE NOT EVEN MAKING ANY SENSE AS JAPANESE. Understood, buddy? Why don't you go ahead and use the translation program on the sentences you gave me, or simply ask another Japanese guy and see if he can tell you that makes any sense? Sorry man, you are a liar.
Let me tell you the way you said in English. Since you can't speak Japanese(obviously, since you are just a Korean), I should tell you how you said it in English.
push kid, car, temperature I, don't like language. you. mad, car.
Now tell me, is this how you talk? Is this what you learned in school?
Sorry buddy, you lied, and it's already clear you are a liar. Meaning, everything that you said so far will be considered lies, and you will not be considered seriously anymore.
And I can't afford an EQ. That is some of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Should I even be able to afford a "garbage" car like this? Go ahead and tell people "You wish you had an Equus!" and I'm pretty sure most of people would tell you "What the fuck is that?" Only the people with no money who can't afford a new S class or LS would want to get their hands on an Equus. Like yourself.
Oh btw, did you know the pedal issue also happened to Audi before and it was the same result?
At this point, Hyundai is just as good as Lexus. Hyundai is becoming a very respected brand name. Besides, why the hell would you want to pay for the name???
Also, This is not a lexus wannabe. I have no idea where you got that... Especially when you said people will laugh at the car.
Because those at lexus, paved the way for this car to exist. Look at it. It's basically a knock off for the same price. headlights. Body shape, tailights and exhaust tips built in to the bumper.
Are you saying that U.S. models will not have a hood ornament? Its reminiscent of 80's Rolls Royces....which can be a good or bad thing depending on who you are.
Thank you so much for reviewing the Equus John! I really want one of these :) . You're paying mid-level luxury price for Mercedes S-Class luxury. I heard it starts in the mid to high fifties.
this thing is ugly, look at the wheels they look like theyre 16" ,and the hood ornament and head lights look terrible. Also, at the end of the day it's still a HYUNDAI

ROFL!! Now you are being totally delusional. Do you want to see a review of a man who did Genesis Coupe? He stated a WRX(My car:D) can smoke a Genesis Coupe. Do you want to see it? Simple, ask me!
And Equus never was tested nor is it even on sale yet on North America. So your so called "professional magazines and reviews" stuff gives a lot of credibility to yourself now, huh? LOL!

NSX used to be ok...lol that shows a lot about your car knowledge. NSX still remains to be one of the best supercars out there, and many people wish for the return of it. I wouldn't really think anyone would greatly miss Genesis Coupe even if it was gone. Many poor people who can't afford a 370Z nor G37 would, but no one else.
So, are you going to pay 70k for an Equus? Sorry buddy, it is not 40k. You want to pay 40k? Stick with Genesis sedan, and let people know you got no cash.

All Honda cars are SLOW. HYUNDAI owners today are insulted when their car are confused with HONDA. GC=Style, luxury, power to control, dollar for power, It is the next Generation. HONDA can not keep up so they don't make sports car anymore.
Hyundai Motors is bigger than NISSAN, HONDA, MAZDA and MITSUBISH all put together and their biggest factory is in the USA.

And I'm sorry, if you know anything about Honda history, Honda has NSX, which appealed to many celebrities including Bill Gates, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebrities, even the designer of McLaren F1(In fact, NSX even inspired him to build F1), all thanks to the Honda F1 technology. How many celebrities or famous people buy a Genesis Coupe? As far as I know, none.
And also, absolutely no F1 technology like Honda NSX on GC. GC is for people who can't afford G37 or 370Z.

When Lexus LS was first introduced, this made Mercedes-Benz and BMW go nuts, since Lexus LS was the first car that did not cause any kind of vibration on the hood when the engine is on. You'd know what I mean by seeing the commercial of the first model of LS' engine being turned on, and a bunch of glass cups on the hood. But they are not shaking, at all. People accused Lexus of making a false commercial, but it turned out it was true.
So, what's so great about Equus? Tell me.

If you'll notice, the Equus has a wing motif incorporated in it's styling, not instantly recognizable. Look at the shapes of the lights,the exhaust, and the dashboard. Subtle and elegant and original. The hints of Buick in the grille and creased fenders is probably an allusion from as far back as the 1940's when Buick was the most admired car in Europe and especially among Asians. Everybody who was anybody owned Buicks back when. It was the choice of celebrities,stars, and even royalty!

It's clear you don't even know how Lexus was created. When Lexus LS was introduced, the German companies felt threatened by the fact that Lexus LS was so quiet. There is a commercial of LS with a bunch of glass cups on the hood, and running the engine. And yet, those glass cups never fall down by the vibration of the engine. People criticized because that is "impossible", but later on, it turned out it really was true.
NakedSnakeBlGBOSS 1 year ago
@Mrtriumphchopper
And Lexus is currently the best selling luxury brand in the U.S., and the reason is simple, because it's the most advanced luxury brand. Even the current Ford CEO drives a Lexus LS460 and called it the finest automobile in the entire world. Also, Lexus RX is the one that set a new class, called "crossover". BMW copied it and made an X3. And if Lexus is fraud, then I think GM and Chrysler are already past "criminal" levels. Ever wondered why they went bankrupt?

BTW, Lexus LX is basically a Lexus version of Toyota Land Cruiser, which is used by the U.N. officials, Saudi Royal families and W.H.O. officials who need to go to desert and/or the war zones. No one uses a GM's pseudo-SUV, since they know it's a piece of garbage.

I've wanted to give Cadillac CTS-V a chance, but as I thought, reliability has not improved, at all. On the Edmunds website, I "already" see the owners complaining about the reliability of the car.
On top of that, now most of GM cars are just rebadged cars, not even purely American. Even the new Camaro was engineered by the Australians.

One by one. You typed it, right? Didn't use the translation program, right? YOU CAN READ JAPANESE MAGAZINES, RIGHT?

Let me tell you the way you said in English. Since you can't speak Japanese(obviously, since you are just a Korean), I should tell you how you said it in English.
push kid, car, temperature I, don't like language. you. mad, car.
Now tell me, is this how you talk? Is this what you learned in school?
Sorry buddy, you lied, and it's already clear you are a liar. Meaning, everything that you said so far will be considered lies, and you will not be considered seriously anymore.

How am I supposed to translate it when it is already a complete mess up? Do you really want me to say it?
You push? a kid? I also, car sake? not ganka?? there is nothing?? I don't really like your language
This is what you get if you use a translation program.

@torius12: Why are you using that kind of language? I like infiniti (had Q45 and QX4), MBZ (S 500), GM (Blazer), and Gen. What is wrong with you?

What's wrong. I thought you could read Korean and Japanese?

And I can't afford an EQ. That is some of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Should I even be able to afford a "garbage" car like this? Go ahead and tell people "You wish you had an Equus!" and I'm pretty sure most of people would tell you "What the fuck is that?" Only the people with no money who can't afford a new S class or LS would want to get their hands on an Equus. Like yourself.
Oh btw, did you know the pedal issue also happened to Audi before and it was the same result?

With this Johnny-come-lately looking Lexus wannabe showing up next year, I'm already curious what lexus's new L460 is gonna look like.

At this point, Hyundai is just as good as Lexus. Hyundai is becoming a very respected brand name. Besides, why the hell would you want to pay for the name???
Also, This is not a lexus wannabe. I have no idea where you got that... Especially when you said people will laugh at the car.

Because those at lexus, paved the way for this car to exist. Look at it. It's basically a knock off for the same price. headlights. Body shape, tailights and exhaust tips built in to the bumper.

Even if that's true why does it matter? Many companies steal designs. Did you Mercedes stole the designer of the Genesis and new Sonata from Hyundai?
I'm not denying that Hyundai models some of their cars off of others, but as long as they do it well and keep a nice interior than I don't care.

loose the hood ornament.

disracenboi336 2 years ago
Are you saying that U.S. models will not have a hood ornament? Its reminiscent of 80's Rolls Royces....which can be a good or bad thing depending on who you are.

it is pretty nice, Hyundai could have went with a different name for their higher models like Honda and toyota did with their acura and Lexus brands

Thank you so much for reviewing the Equus John! I really want one of these :) . You're paying mid-level luxury price for Mercedes S-Class luxury. I heard it starts in the mid to high fifties.

In Swiss, never heard corean cars owners have problems with !
Great idea for the front lights (like Opel), the auto-looking doors & the exhaust.
