Leaked: 2010 Hyundai Equus

    0 Ratings
    SEOUL, South Korea — The blogs are working overtime, particularly in the case of the redesigned Hyundai Equus, the Korean automaker's home-market flagship, which makes its debut in mid-March.

    New images of the 2010 Equus, which appear to be lifted from a dealer brochure, appeared on Internet site thecarblogger.net and subsequently have been widely distributed. The site said the car's domestic introduction in Korea has been pushed back from March 3 to March 11.

    Last month, the site hyundai-blog.com reported that a fully loaded version of the new Equus with 5.0-liter V8 and all the options will sell for the equivalent of $96,000 in the Korea domestic market.

    The Detroit-based industry Web site wardsauto.com carried an interview in January with Hyundai Vice Chairman H.S. Lee, quoting him as saying, "Two years down the road, we are going to introduce this car to America."

    Inside Line says: Looks like another potential image builder for Hyundai — depending on how it's priced in the U.S. market. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

    OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

    Is all I can say about the new Equus. I had the pleasure of not only seeing one, but sitting in it, viewing all of the features, and riding in it.

    There aren't enough words to express how I feel about this car.  I was soooo impressed! The Equus is such a beautiful car on the inside as well as the outside. Sitting in the back was enough for me.  The roominess, separate controls, shades for the windows, etc., were just the absolute best!

    My daughter will be 14 years old in January, and ever since she was a little girl, she asked "Why don't they make cars with trays so that the person in the back can eat something, or have something to write on other than their lap?" Being a mom, that tray is tops for me.  

    Congratulations on such a fine automobile.

    Regards,

    Lisa R. Clarke
