@MrPoooopro A 5 series? That isn't even in the same class as the Equus. The Genesis yeah but even the R-Spec model is less expensive and better in many regards than the 5 series.

i dont think people will spend that kind of money on a hyundai there better of buying a second hand bmw 5series its much pleasure to drive and more luxuries

I abandoned Mercedes several years ago because of quality and frequency of repair issues, to say nothing of dealer problems. Switched to LS series Lexuses and will probably stay with them. However, I would certainly look at Hyundai products; but, I'll wait until substantial frequency of repair and owner satisfaction data are available from Consumers' Union.

@burnoutlane13 Nope, Hyundai has really stepped up their quality. Everything in the car is soft vinyl/leather.

I dare you to take a feel of the interior plastics in that thing and then go into a merc or audi and tell me they're the same quality. I can guarantee you they won't be.

@blaknite1 not at all. front came from genesis and the back from the former version of equus.

Hyundai is trying to do what Toyota did with the Lexus in the 90s. The really don't have any track record in the luxury car segment. Doesn't suprise me that they price it lower than competing brands.

@Moosey1789 That's about the same price of any window motor.
