hyundai equus replacement
http://www.hyundai-blog.com/index.ph...ings-released/
WOW i am IMPRESSED. However, this thing looks like a compilation of 4-5 other cars but I cant deny how good it wil probably end up looking.
Do you think it will sell in the US if it came here?

It looks good but it is just a rendering after all. Look how different the genesis coupe turned out.
The Equus will probably have stronger Hyundai design cues unlike the play-it-safe look of the Genesis.

If the actual product comes out to look like anything like the rendering, sign me up!! This thingis just sick looking. Nice to see that Hyundai is doing what ACURA SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING all along, and that is hiring a decent design team. S class front with, how ironic is this, the older ACURA RL rear end. LOL!!! Have to give Hyundai props, they may be hybriding different cars from different manufacturers' but it seems like they are taking it to a new science and doing it well.

true, but they still need to redesign their interior. i dont really like the G37 knock off interior of the genesis.

I tell you this much the past owners of this will still remember this POS I almost fell for one of these. The salesman said to me remember the sale is over at 9:00 PM I replied walking out the door I will speak to my wife. $3990 sedan $4990 Sedan W/Auto. and A/C $5990 hatchback. Hyundai Excel or Mitsubishi Precis

If you look at the Genesis, it's got the Benz grill (like this one), the side profile of a 3GS, and the tail lights of the current 5 series.
I mean seriously, did they have to so obviously rip off the Benz grill?
How are people supposed to take a car company that can't even come up with their own original design/styling language seriously?
They've been around a while now, it's about time they put the money into coming up with their own styling language especially if they're not willing to put out the money to start a separate luxury division.
For these reasons, I am not impressed.
