Want an eye-catching car for a reasonable price?
Upgraded to the 2012 Equus from a 2010 Genesis V-6. The Genesis was great but the Equus is a better car all around, even better than the Genesis 4.6 V-8 which a friend of mine has. It's bigger, heavier and size-wise on a par with the Lexus LS460, Audi A8, etc. I found I really like a car with some heft to it, regardless of the gas mileage penalty (I get around 22 mpg with about 75% highway travel. On 100% freeway I've gotten as much as 27mpg). I also like the sport driving mode (which the Genesis didn't have) when I need instant acceleration on grades and freeway on-ramps. Best of all, however, is how great it looks. I've got custom chrome wheels on it, of course installed the flying Pegasus hood ornament, tinted windows, took the Equus badge off the trunk lid, and put about 15 coats of wax on the black paint (with tiny gold flecks in it). Wish I could attach a picture. I get complimentary comments on it all the time, asking if it is a brand-new car. The other day someone in a parking lot asked me if it was some kind of new model Rolls Royce. Not - but thanks for the thought!
