Why not post this on either the Hyundai Equus or Lexus LS460L forum?
Honestly; I would think they would be more inclined to care.

Hyundai wins, as it should.

What I don't like about this is that the Asian automakers are clearly "cloning" other manufacturers cars. So much for copyrite and patent law.

I agree. Hyundai's cars are just different design elements of all other manufacturers. They are currently on the same track that Toyota/Lexus was 20+ years ago. IMO, if Hyundai really wants to be successful with this equus, they need to rebrand it (just like Toyota did with Lexus) bc at the end of the day, it still is a Hyundai, and who wants to pay 65k for that!

On a car forum it is an expected reaction. Look at it this way....for the common folk who just wants all the gadgets with similar power at a lower price it should be ok.

The more options the better...

Each time I look at current-generation Mercedes E-class (W212) I instantly think of Lexus GS (which came out much earlier) when looking at its headlights or a "generic Asian car design" when looking at its rear lights

You should read up on the Chinese, here are some blatant examples:

E90 post is also full of douchebags. Club Lexus may as well call themselves ClubSI. I've always been open minded about cars.
