Why Daphne Alabama? It's a nice area, but by no means would I say that's their top market! Maybe I'm losing it and missed something here.... I grew up near and around this town, my sister still lives and works just a few miles away (the towns all flow together).

Does the Hyundai Equus qualify for Cash for Clunkers?

It sure looks like a clunker!

I don't see anyone paying that much for a Hyundai, no offense. The car is highly over priced and should be priced to compete with the Avalon, Maxima, Accord, etc.

I am going to wait for the Chinese knock-off. It has to have a more attractive grille than the one Hyundai decided on. Who told them Frugly was better than the bland look of the Genesis?

Most of you are talkin' out of your ass. Equus will feature more than 10 world first technologies, the standard feature list alone will put shame to the overpriced euro trash. Many dealerships around the country already has them on display. Equus is another home run by Hyundai.

Let's break this down...

First, what kind of person can afford a $65K car? (ANY $65K car).
And last, why on earth would THAT person buy a Hyundai?

thstone has a very good point. I am sure that it is a well-built car, but the 65k crowd isn't going to take it seriously. Not quite yet. Now is not the time to do this. Let the Genesis set a proper name and prove the brand with the 45k crowd. Then, in a few years, maybe two Equus generations down the line, they can try again. It's all about snob appeal up in that ballpark. Value has little or no place. Hence, Hyundai, has little or no place. I have a friend who hates Hyundai. Had never drvien in one, doesn't know anybody who has ever owned/driven one of the new ones (mine was a 1987 so doesn't really count), yet gave them NO rating. I begged her to go with me to the local Hyundai dealer to have a look at what they had. We left the dealership with her being VERY impressed and eager to set up a test drive. But she's no convert yet. It will take time.
