Hyundai is wooing limo fleet owners...

Interesting they are extending the 10/100 warranty to them, usually limos are left out of this.
I know a few months ago when I was looking at cars I sat in an Equus, and that thing was nice. The leather was just super soft and the seats very comfortable. Lots of room both front and back also. Then I saw the $59,000 sticker price!

Great news for Hyundai and nice for Limo owners to get the full warranty too.

Yeah, Ethan and I looked an Equus Ultimate over at the car show -- beautiful. The sticker was $67,000. Can't imagine.
 Just realized you won't be able to view the pic at work, but that's Ethan behind the wheel. -------------------- A proud member of the club.

I mean it only makes sense for the cars to be considered. That would be awesome to see fleets of the Genesis or Equus as limos!!!

I don't see them ever "upstaging"... Lincoln is the limo car...not honda, not toyota, lexus etc...not even buick orchrysler.. Town Cars and navigators run the show..
Every now and then a hummer lol (car brand) or caddy... I can see a share or private drivers rockin the genesis or equus But not enough to out fleet the town car.. Whatever happened to the equus concept. With the hardwood floors, electro dimming windows and refridgerator? -------------------- Oh no, I'm so sorry... the correct answer is The Moops.
 The packaging clearly stated '100'. I'm short ONE luft balloon. |

With the hardwood floors, electro dimming windows and refridgerator? Maybe "replace" instead of "upstage" then since the Town Car is now out of production. The time is ripe for something to take over that spot, and with the 10/100,000 warranty even for fleet owners, that might be enough for the Equus to overtake Lincoln in 3 to 5 years when the bulk of the remaining Lincolns are replaced. -------------------- A proud member of the club.

Got a point there lol...
Forgot about that... I'm still stuck in last decade lol If it wasn't for my crappy subscription to car and driver (biggest waste of $7 evar) Good luck hyundai! A lot of people predicted the rise of hyundai when they won 1st place JD Power awards, and also owners who were SUpER satisfied, like myself...  wish I still had one...The warranty won't last long though, I drive about 5,000 miles a month as a driver... If it was my fleet I think a service plan would be better than a warranty.. Only because on most vehicles it would be up in under two years, but with service plan could keep em up for longer -------------------- Oh no, I'm so sorry... the correct answer is The Moops.
