Equus = Lexus - $35KSource: MSN Autos...Overall: Always wanted a Lexus 460L, .. but couldn't justify the expense. Took the Equus for a test drive and could not believe that the experience was so "Lexus-like", ... yet the cost was 33% less! I am replacing the Hyundai emblem on the trunk with the Equus emblem (which I think Hyundai should have done from the start) so there will be not a single refernece to Hyundai on or in the car (don't think Lexus kept the Toyota emblem when they started?). Have been asked by a number of folks what is an "Equus", .. as they are quite taken with the car's appeal yet unfamiliar with the name... |

It tries to be a Lexus LS460 - but not even closeSource: MSN Autos...For a luxary car I expected touch screen, but it was not there - it is a manual, select one letter at a time and press a button. Many major streets are not recgonized by the GPS system. No aux power in the rear - hard to charge or use a pad or phone. Heck, my Toyota corolla has aux power in the back. Overall: This is "poor mans" Lexus LS 460, but Lexus has nothing to worry about. The Equus needs a lot of work to even be in the same league. I did not buy the car, not spending 55K for an attempt at a Lexus knockoff... |

A lot of car for the moneySource: Edmunds
...We were looking for a little higher level of luxury and comfort than our 2006 Infiniti M35. |

Hyundai Equus SignatureSource: Edmunds
...I took delivery of My Signature On Jan 7. It has been a great car to drive. |

Why should I also consider these?
Hyundai's rapid climb up the social ladder can't be good for Lexus, which did the same thing 20 years ago and now has a direct competitor for its pretty, well-crafted LS sedan.
Like the Equus, the LS is still a little benign compared with uberluxury sedans like the Jaguar XJ, a stunning piece of glitz with much less rear-seat head room than it once had.
The big German sellers are in the same size class, but it's hard to think of someone stepping down from the BMW 7-Series or the Mercedes-Benz S-Class into an Equus if they're at all brand-snobbish--and the same holds true for the Audi A8, which has fab features like Google Earth maps, but a completely forgettable look.
