  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Bottom line, followed by link to article:

Is the Equus worth it? In a word, yes. There is nothing particularly distinguished about it, but it refines everything to a high degree. To my eye, it is closer to today's Lexus than the 1990 Lexus was to the Mercedes of that era.

Standouts include the instrument panel graphics and easy-to-use navigation system. The powertrain delivers seamless torque, and if performance suffers by the absence of two gears, it isn't evident.

Some reviewers have complained about excessive isolation in the passenger side and the absence of road feel for the driver. But with the suspension adjusted to "sport" I felt as much of the road as I wanted to.

In sum, the Hyundai is a complete premium luxury car at a bargain price. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new ethos develop among customers who ignore the status conveyed by hood ornament in favor of value.
