CarGurus' Review for 2011 hyundai equusSource: CarGurus
...The excellent 2011 Hyundai Equus sedan represents, like the company's Genesis before it, a new and bold direction from an automaker whose ambition (and talents) have grown appreciably in recent years. |

2012 Hyundai Equus Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...400 for the BMW 550i). Looking at the numbers, it is easy to understand the appeal of the Equus. The car clearly offers more for a base price nearly $3,000 less — a rounded $59,000 for the Equus Signature sedan compared with $62,000 for the BMW 550i. But there is a consistency of feel in the BMW 550i unmatched by the Equus, even with the latter car’s standard electronic air suspension and continuously damping shocks — a combination that makes the Equus feel as if it’s floating on air while it’s actually rolling over rocks. When you are rolling over rocks in the... |

2011 Hyundai Equus Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Unfortunately, American consumers aren't Vulcans (though apparently some are Kardashians), and they won't be flocking to buy a luxury car from Hyundai. Technically, Hyundai isn't the problem. American consumers are finally getting over their decades-old perception of Hyundais as inferior vehicles. Slowly and diligently, the company has added high quality, progressive styling and improved mileage and crash tests to its trademark value and generous warranty. Hyundai is seemingly unstoppable in the U.S. and world markets, and that success is as deserved as was Toyota's historic ascension decades... |

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.
