WOW!!
Look at that rear end (of the car!) I love it. talk about looking like a Bentley.
Wish they had followed through.

I think it's too forward of a design....I don't like it. I actually think the current Equus is a better looking car than this concept, but then again we all know that final products usually don't follow the prototypes. Just look how much the Volt has morphed from a hot looking sports car to just looking like another MEH sedan design.

I think it is terrific! Every reviewer has put the Genesis down for being "derivitive". It is good to see Hyundai step out in a different direction. I especially like the invisible pillars.

From the b-pillar back is it perfect, the front clip seems too cute, reminds me of a beetle.

Actually most reviewers seem to like the styling in spite of it's derivative nature.

This doesn't look so good to me. The A pillar reminds me of the new 9-5 (yes, this came first), the taillights look French (or a bit like the new XJ), and the fenders have got to go.

It just screams old man car like the Kia Amanti.

I think that's it...it reminds me of a old man car / land yacht. I think the current Equus is pretty sweet - maybe it's the Genesis-esque curves on it.

I remember seeing these pictures years ago.. I liked this concept.. It's unique.. I think this is what first got me seriously thinking about Hyundai's future and capabilities. It's odd-looking but nothing looks like it.. I like the new version better...
