The new luxurious lovely lady-in-waiting is Hyundai's 2011 Equus. It is rapidly setting a new diamond standard for opulence. At around $58,000, it isn't exactly cheap, but for that price, it definitely offers its fair share of amenities, some of which aren't even featured on the pricier ladies like the Audi A8, the Mercedes Benz S-Class, the BMW 7 Series and the Lexus LS460.
The Hyundai Company is confident that intelligent consumers will soon learn just how well the 2011 Equus competes with the comparable front-runners from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Lexus. It is thought that the conventional luxury models will simply be unable to contend with the unique ownership experience offered to the Equus owners by the Hyundai dealerships.
The 2011 Equus will undoubtedly have a serious impact on the historical perceptions of the Hyundai brand. A recent example that has set the automobile industry on its head is Motor Trend magazine's video comparison between the Hyundai Equus and the Bentley Mulsanne by Executive Editor Edward Loh and Senior Editor Jonny Lieberman. Although both vehicles are offered with a long list ...
... of features, and the Bentley has unquestionably more experience in this department, the whole comparison issue boils down to the price difference. Is the price difference of $260,000 between the 2011 Hyundai Equus ($70,000) and the Bentley Mulsanne ($330,000) really worth it?
