If anyone can shed light on how Equus is supposed to be pronounced, please send word my way. Hyundai has officially announced, in these times, that they will be bringing the Equus, their premium sedan, to the US side of the pond, though that name will hopefully be dropped in the favor of a more English-friendly name.

With lines that tie to the Genesis sedan and genesis coupe up front, and the current Elantra on the side, this top-model hyundai is definitely one of the breed, even though the total car comes off looking like a luxury sedan that could compete right alongside many in this segment. It's also surprisingly luxurious for its suspected price of around 40-50 large, with attention to detail, loads of options that meet and beat expectations, and all the hallmarks of a luxo sedan, right down to the radiator ornament. Headed here in 2010, it'll give the BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-class a run for the money, and even the 7-series and S-class if the new extended-wheelbase version comes over eventually. So, can anyone in the States pronounce Equus? I think it's like ee-kooss, but it could also be ek-wuss or something completely different. Please, Hyundai, change the name of this car for the sake of all US citizens!
