The design is just dated and the interior a hodge podge of other designs. And for $50 large, you could afford almost any of those other brands. I&#39;ve just gotten rid of a Sonata. I wouldn&#39;t spend any amount of money on another Hyundai, let alone $50k.&quot;<br /><br />What was wrong with your Sonata?<br /><br />My aunt has an &#39;06 V6 Sonata with 110,000 miles and not a single failure other than the radio which was replaced under warranty. <br /><br />My neighbor is a sales rep who drives around for a living. He bought one of the very first Santa Fes sold in the US. It was a 2001 V6 AWD with leather and he racked up over 260,000 miles and needed nothing but regular maintainence and a drivers side seat cover at around 240,000 miles. It was washed montly and waxed twice a year and it still looked brand new when he sold it. He replaced it with an Azera which now has about 130K on it and he says his next vehicle will be a Genesis sedan.<br /><br />By the way, for 50K you can&#39;t even get close to the competition that the Equus is gunning for. Not even a Lexus LS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311719.post-40989520533952156672009-07-16T11:48:23.578-07:002009-07-16T11:48:23.578-07:00Still a third world car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311719.post-61277452974503704802009-07-16T08:26:53.733-07:002009-07-16T08:26:53.733-07:00I personally don&#39;t want to see a Hyundai luxury division because it would take billions to start up and where would the money come from? The consumer. Hyundai would have to add hundreds, maybe thousands, to the price of EVERY car they make to recoup. As good as Hyundai&#39;s are now; their main attraction is still value. Taking that away would hurt more so then not having a luxury brand. <br />Enjoying a higher level of service is great but I appreciate a good car even more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311719.post-16264249749216006662009-07-16T08:08:17.926-07:002009-07-16T08:08:17.926-07:00Looks like a big boring Avalon.
