Güney koreli otomotiv devi Hyundai’nın lüks amiral Gemisi Equus 2010′nun tasarım anlayışında Mercedes-Benz s-class ve Bmw 7-serisi’nden izler taşıyarak geliştirilen 2010 yeni Hyundai Equus’un tasarımıda bmw ve mercedes tasarımı gizli olduğundan en azından Hyundai’yede hak vermek lazım.

Are most of you blind or just really pissed off about the fact that hyundai is a competitor now PERIOD. Use your fcukin eyes? Honestly Bmw needs to drop that cheap lookin grill and as for the motor point of view. The only thing i see is a fcukin unedged over sized car that needs a twin turbo. Thats the only reason why its beating it in horses. Maybe hyundai should make a new twin turbo two. Get choked all you want that Bmws design is getting so fucking old and all of you know it too. Like honestly straight up could anyone of you say with a straight face the design of that beamer is better. Haha welcome to 2010 boys? time to move on a grow up. Im actually so happy about this right now. P.s Bmws sales on an all time low.

@VASANTTES.

unusual comparisons make things interesting. Everyone, including us, have compared the 7 against the S-Class or Lexus LS many times, but should we do that all the time?

Also, here is what I said in the article:

” Even though we, along with most of the media, do not consider the Hyundai EQUUS to be YET in the same class as its classic competitors (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus)”

It is worth mentioning that Hyundai has had 10 years to work on this car. It has been on sale in Korea since 1999. So while it may be “new” to us, it ain’t for them. I’ve had my eyes on this car for years.

Sorry for double-post,
I forgot to mention that overuse of chrome is a big big no-no.

From the side, the front looks like a botched Cadillac, and the rear like a Camry. And what’s up with the little bird a la Rolls-Royce on the hood? It just looks like they’re trying too hard.
What some American and Korean automakers should do is develop a design style/philosophy and be consistent with it. Not copycat off others or have headlights of different shapes on all their cars.

BMW and MB should have been (and were) worried 20 years ago at the Lexus and Infiniti launch. It’s Lexus’ turn to be worried now given Hyundai’s new product offensive.

Well remember the VW Pheaton ? That wasn’t all that sucessful.

But I think Hyundai could have a chance.

Nope, it doesn’t stand a chance… yet. Maybe in 20 years, if every new model is markedly better than the previous – maybe.

But what it will not/ever have over Merc & BMW (to a lesser extend Audi and Lexus), is history. With history comes a long line of experience and identity. You go buy a Merc or a BMW for more or less the same reason – you want the best, and everyone knows it. But you will choose between these according to your preference in driving style or the need to put luxure above handling or vica versa.

All I’m saying is that over decades, these two titans got to know what people want. Not just any body mind, a specific audience that is not happy with anything, but the best.

In 20 years from now, if Haudai is still making the Excuse… sorry, my bad – the Equus, the establishment will have 20 more.
