There's been a deluge of pictures of the Hyundai Equus surfacing in the last few days, and new official images have turned up that give us a glimpse both inside and out. The new exterior shots show off two different grille treatments, with the V6 models get Genesis-esque horizontal slats, while V8 models use vertical elements. A straight-on side view also shows off the size of this big sedan -- it's a long wheelbase with lengthy rear doors, a true executive sedan in size and style. Inside, the appointments appear luxurious and comprehensive, ready to take on the big guns from Lexus, Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Hyundai's saying that it looked past its usual practice of engineering a vehicle to a price point and just went for broke with this new Equus to make it truly great. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and plans are underway to bring the model to the North American market, possibly as a 2011 or 2012 model. Official press release after the jump.

I LOVE THIS CAR! based upon my pleasant experiences with my 4.6/tech, this call will replace it in April 2011. While i still love my MB convertible, when it comes to my sedan purchases, I am 100% behind Hyundai.

Those of us who have purchased the first models are just as smart as those who bought the first Lexus LS400 in 1989. People laughed at a $40K "Toyota" then and now look how respected Lexus is.

We are the new "status free" luxury car pioneers!

Two of my friends have since dumped their German premium cars for the 4.6/tech.

LOVE THIS SITE!

I still think the Genesis looks better inside and out.

I still think the Genesis looks better inside and out.

I prefer the overall look of the Genesis also, but the Equus probably has better materials and some features not yet available on the Genesis. I think the wood is real in the Equus interior. And take a look at the rear seat controls in photo 6 on this site:

The Equus is more like a limo than a Sedan. Only problem is that the grill looks like an Oldsmobile (RIP).
