Not a bad car for their first try in the U.S. Still needs some work, but a second generation will be better.

The productions models will have a Hyundai badge on the trunk, and it wont have that hood ornament thing because of a pedestrian laws, but it won't have a Hyundai logo on the front.

I agree. The picture below seems to confirm this.

Those pictures are really odd. The one I sat in at the auto show last year was not on a turntable, and it definitely had the Hyundai logo on the trunk, but the Equus logo on the hood. In fact, myself and several other people pointed to it and commented on it as well.

Also, just found this picture from Hyundai's own Equus website. Looks like a Hyundai badge to me.

Hyundai Dealerships have different packages(options) on the cars. Some come with they Hyundai Emblem while others have the Equus Emblem equipped.

Hyundai does the same with the Genesis.

I heard the dealers go to extreme lengths to please. Mine will require Keira Knightley, for a loaner.

Oh, I was always under the impression that people change the logo themselves haha.

And I think the picture from earlier with the different logo on the back is an Asia spec model, cause the US spec doesn't have the VS460 badge on the right of the trunk either.
