I am not feeling the Mercedes grille in the front. Rear end looks a little Acura RL-ish. Other than a lack of some originality, looks good.

135i_TT · 02-16-2009, 10:27 PM

^ Yea I think it does look pretty freakn nice.

135i_TT · 02-16-2009, 10:31 PM

Yea weve all been mentioning that a lot... but I think here in USA many people are also gona be lookn at AFFORDABLITY and STYLE so this new Generation for Hyundai may be good... we shall see.

Epik · 02-16-2009, 10:36 PM

Is it really a rip-off when it looks so much better than either of the cars people say it's stealing from?

The renderings of the Equus look great but who knows what it'll look like come production.

This word is this one will be 100k territory.

number335 · 02-16-2009, 11:22 PM

Looks like a Lexus. If you can't beat'm, copy'em. Take the looks of what makes a Lexus and Benz successful and add that to you luxury sedan and take what Infiniti did with the G35 and make that your sports coupe.

rcracer_tx · 02-16-2009, 11:51 PM

I think that Hyundai should stop ripping other companies designs off...

Epik · 02-17-2009, 12:22 AM

Not sure but I think it's the S class, LS, then Equus on the right.

gshb · 02-17-2009, 03:57 PM

its super expensive. i dont see the appeal. it would make a nice taxi though like the last gen equus.

Year's_End · 02-17-2009, 04:06 PM

It looks amazing for a Hyundai. Wonder what US pricing will be like.

They need to have a consistent badge.

ptack · 02-17-2009, 06:32 PM

Can these guys do anything original?

They were the first ones to offer a 10/100 warranty and the job loss vehicle buy back program. Last time I checked BMW would not buy my car back should I become unable to pay for my car.

JIM E92 · 02-17-2009, 07:08 PM

The car looks great. It's very current with the latest popular design themes. I'm very impressed at how far Hyundai has come.

Boost Gomez · 02-17-2009, 08:03 PM

The front looks exactly like an S and the rear looks just like an LS. I understand their aim is to provide affordable luxury and bang for your buck but can't they come up with something at least somewhat original?

E90SLAM · 02-17-2009, 08:16 PM

uh....how about the new BMW 7-series....i dun see it "original" from the rear....
*cough* Lexus *cough* LS *cough* rear???

You sure are coughing a lot....RIIICOLAAAAAAAAAA
The 7 series has totally different rear light styling than the LS so I have no idea what you are talking about....look at the headlights on the S class and compare it with this new rip off from Hyundai like Sunday....THAT'S copying other cars.. What are you gonna tell me next? The 7 series ripped the LS off because the Lexus has 4 wheels and so does the 7 series???

BMW F22 · 02-18-2009, 02:30 AM

I like it! And did anyone notice they changed the logo? I know a lot of you guys hate the current one.

Crimson92 · 02-18-2009, 11:01 AM

i like it...could be a winner

Epik · 02-18-2009, 01:09 PM

No, Markoni, that's the really really old Genesis prototype.

Draman · 02-18-2009, 01:18 PM

I don't think there's much of a market for a $100k Hyundai, people in that price range are almost exclusively prestige buyers. There is still no prestige behind the Hyundai brand...

I don't know. I find it hard to believe that hyundai will price this thing in the 6 figures, or anywhere near that. That's more than twice the price of the current highest price model available in the US. There'd be too much of a price void between the two.

in any case, i don't have a doubt this car will be amazing.

its not "completely" copying....but i'm so disappointed of it looks so similar to LS....i wouldn't say "copy" or "rip off"....but can't they have something a bit more different????

btw....i prefer Halls...
