No no, I like the car a lot. I just had no idea it was that much. Guess it makes sense if a Genesis sedan is what, 40K loaded. Been in one and its a nice ride.

Also saw an Alpina Z8 but couldn't get my phone ready in time. I did see this just a few minutes later, though.

^usually the location that one is chauffeured in. I think the Lexus LS offers something similar too.

Haha wow I dont think many people here are going to get chauffeured in a Hyundai. I mean they have built some good cars recently but come on they are being unrealistic.

I thought it had to with the fact that when you recline the rear seat, the front passenger seat slides all the way up so there would be no room for the drivers seat to slide up if there was someone driving.

I was watching an interview with a Hyundai PR person and he said the Equus is meant to be a niche car, helping enhance the look of Hyundai as a company. Not intended to sell like a bread and butter car.

So it seems like they plan on not moving too many units around due to...well your statement really. Many people aren't comfortable with the idea of spending that much money on a brand that's just now going through a renaissance essentially. Think Lexus during the 1990s. I'm curious to see where Hyundai will be in 10 years or so. I think they really are going to have an impact and become a reputable luxury brand.

I think you get reclining seats in an S600 and have seen a set in an S65.

The S-Class and 7 series have adjustable rear seats (I believe 12-16 way) however they do not FULLY recline like the passenger side on the Equus. Lexus has that feature in the LS though, and so does Maybach.

I wonder how much more excitement you would have had knowing it was a 458 italia lol.

FAIL!

edit: I wasn't a big fan of the 458 when it was first introduced, but when I saw it in person. OMG it looks intense. And the sound

That is the ugliest shade of yellow I've ever seen but omigod probably the best colour on a 458. Who knew pissing on a car could make it more beautiful?

I heart 458s.

I can't believe so many of you don't like Giallo Modena. I'd choose it way before red.

458 is sexy.

Here is one that I took a couple years back. Found it on my phone. Check out the plate


And a MB AMG I believe. (old man was driving it, and lets just say I could not have kept up if i tried)
