New Prototype Hyundai's spotted in SoCal

[SoCalGen]

One of my friends from a car club I'm in was driving up the grapevine and spotted some new Hyundai's. One was a Sonata that said "Caution Prototype Vehicle" the other appears to be a redesigned Equus I'm thinking? I also just friended a friend of his who works in design and engineering at Hyundai. Hoping to get more answers soon.


Decide for yourselves.

Holy crap. That looks like the tail lights off the new C Class. In that way, I am thinking Equus. Also, does it always have to be a downpour and filmed with a handycam from the 90's??

I'm just picturing some Hyundai engineer going, hey let's put some tail-lights we know we're not going to use on a prototype and drive it around for a little bit just to throw people off!

LOL Sorry, it was a rainy weekend here in SoCal. Perhaps that's the exact reason Hyundai took them out for a drive. My friend was filming off his cell phone as best he could while driving.

LOL If I worked there I'd do that all the time. Throw on some used lights from 90's era American cars.
