I didn't say I hate it. I think it looks good, but Hyundai should have thought about starting a luxury marque for these cars. Would have been able to make the car luxurious instead of a value.

the car is very luxurious, its better than the Lexus LS but the NEW brand wouldn't have helped at all, haters would say they are still just hyundais and the public wouldnt know who this new brand was

I suppose one reason that folks might be put off by a Hyundai luxury car is because they don't seem to have an original bone in their bodies when it comes to styling... I mean, earlier in this thread somebody mentioned that the styling was a ripoff of Lexus, which is the automotive equivalent of Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel... 8 out of 10 orphans can't tell the difference tounge

I'll be the first to admit that there are some things the F-Series does better than the Silverado. And by that I mean "donate it's back axle to the company's sporty car."

Hyundai could have created another brand,


all the major jap brands did just fine creating their luxo brands.


no one knew of Lexus, Infiniti, or Acura at one point either... look at em nowcoffee

That might be a good thing, maybe Casa's spit tastes like grenadine...

... although I can't imagine grenadined beer would taste very good.

As fiery as his rhetoric is, I would have guessed he spits Moonshine...

Easy decision if you ask me, 300 all the way

Those two cars aren't even in the same segment.

Creating a luxury dealer network in the biggest recession we've had in decades would have been the absolute wrong choice to make. Hyundai decided to ride out the depression and they guessed right. Whether anyone wants to be believe that Hyundai can sell a luxury car or not, they are doing just that.

Whether you like the styling or not(I'm not exactly a fan either), the Equus is far from being a bad car.
