the coming Hyundai Equus

Perhaps we won't be asked to. Rumors say Hyundai may try to bring the Equus stateside in the $50,000 to $60,000 range.

That would make the Equus the next logical step after the Genesis. The Genesis succeeds by offering a BMW 5-Series-like experience for the price of a 3-series. Might the Equus pull of the same trick a step down, bringing 7-Series size and luxury into the 5-Series price range?

Among the improvements made for the 2009 model year is improved steering and suspension, new blue interior lighting, chrome interior accents, a more distinctive chrome grille, redesigned 17-inch alloy wheels and iPod®/USB and auxiliary inputs. An LG in-dash navigation system, introduced during the middle of the last model year is also present.
