Get real fella!!! The Hyundai Equus is a pretty hot ride, but it won't get any play in America.....

I see a lot of Mercedes and Lexus copying on this car. I just don't get why anyone would spend $65k on a Hyundai which is just loaded with useless, gimmicky, features. You'll have to do a lot of explaining to your friends when you buy this car. Honestly, just stick with a 5 Series or an E Class.

@MrCandycaddy88 I get your point, and I happen to think the Hyundai Equus is a beautiful, well built, awesome luxury car, but its not going to get any play in America.

@cingular0073 well ur luxury car has all the stuff this car has or more, i bet is gonna be more than 50k remember thats 50k for a NEW car. not a like new USED car!

[cingular0073]

The New Hyundai Equus is a super hot car inside, and out. With that said, it still doesn't make any since for Hyundai to build, and sell a $50,000 to $100,000 luxury car. I don't know how the folks over in Korea get down, but we Americans are superficial, and materialistic. If I can afford to spend that much cash on a luxury car. I can assure you, that it won't be for a dang Hyundai.
