Maybe they are planning a trip into North Korea

Though only concept art, its certainly one of the most attractive armored cars I've seen

So, the Korean President is currently riding around in a Mercedes S600 and now he's going to be riding around in a Hyundai? Wow...that's quite a step down. :laugh:

 

[punjabiplaya]

So it's like the Genesis (a Hyundai that looks like a Lexus LS)? Except now it's a Hyundai that looks like an S-class?

 

[Chunkee]

WOW...sharp car!!! looks high dollar!!!

It could probably run over that Hyundai and not even slow down

Does the "Equus" come with the Harry Potter kid as your chauffeur?

When you consider the fact that Obama's limo is basically a tank, I'd say it's pretty darn impressive looking.

truthfully, it does resemble a funeral vehicle. yes, GM pissed me off by producing poor cars that reduce competition in america which keeps prices high (in a normal S/D model)

Man!! If you think that about America.........come visit India sometime, the "cheap" 03 Hyundai Elantra I drive here in the US, used to cost almost $21,000 and was considered a luxury vehicle before it got discontinued last year. Mostly because of very few choices we still have there, before 1985 we literally had 2 cars to choose from. You seriously don't know how good you have it here, heck gas is still $3.8/gallon over in India.

I am sure we can get into a debate about taxes, yada yada but fact is that the US is one of few places in the world that, cars are plentiful, there are lots of choices, gas is quite cheap and the inter-state system is awesome. Grass might be greener other places..........errr NO.

BTW I am not attacking you, I just had to reply to that competition comment

OP: The topic sounded to me like Hyundai has finally decided to build cars that never break down :laugh:

 

[DivideBYZero]

MUCH nicer than that Caddy.

 

[Nyati13]

The car pictured is probably the unarmored luxury version, the armored version will probably look a lot chunkier.
Anyway, this car is bullet-proof, the US presidential limo is RPG-proof... that's a huge difference in armor thickness.

 

[ViviTheMage]

talk about new specs! time to test the bullet proof'ness of it....HP - 200, torque-215, oh and it stops 45 cal rounds...

 

[PingSpike]

Man, the presidental caddie is nuts. If you ask me, 8mpg is actually pretty good considering what it is. It doesn't even need tires to drive? I suppose it is a tank.

 

[zoiks]

Yeah. Where's the personal storage of blood in that Hyundai?

 

[Arkaign]

Comparing this to the Caddy is ludicrous.

LOL, I thought this too.

From what I read, their quality has improved drastically over the past few years though.
