That is an unsubstantiated rumor put out by a dubious source (AutoExpress).

So why name it "horse"? A lot of people in America have a tough time with English, let alone Latin. They'll be dumbfounded by "Equus" and think it's misspelled.
Then again, I guess Hyundai won't care if they sell enough of 'em. "Ha, silly Americans! You spend 70 large for a car named 'Horse'? Haw!"

Would Richard Burton or Daniel Radcliffe buy one?

Highly doubtful. I don't think Americans will be any more dumbfounded by Equus than they are with Altima, Maxima, Camry, Solara, Avalon, Venza, Yarris ... ad nauseum.

Hey, they are supposed to come with an iPad instead of an owners manual. All service scheduling and tracking can be done through it.
I don't know how long an ipad battery will last though.

Beautiful. I can't get enough of it. I just hope they can figure out what to do about the whole badging situation.
The Genesis is an amazing car too, for the money.
I am honestly impressed with all of Hyundai's offerings recently. They've got it right and it's going to pay off for them, I am sure of it.

Those that still make cracks about Hyundai with the implications of cheapness need to do a little research. Or better yet, take a look at their current models or talk to the people that have been owning and driving them for the last few years. The big players in the auto game are rightfully afraid of this company...and their customers are laughing all the way to the bank.
It is a RWD.
It will be also AWD starting next year.
The Genesis will follow the trend after the Equus.

It happened even sooner than initially rumored. RIP Maybach.

omg - what are all those controls in the BACK seat console/arm rest? audio/climate etc i guess.
seems to be more controls than what one finds in the FRONT seat center console!!!
nice looking interior.
Exterior still looks ho-hum to me.

They were lame cars new, now they are just lame $20k old boats.
Nothing drops in value faster than an Equal or whatever they are called, the name doesn't matter anyway.
