Hyundai Equus Stretch Edition not US bound?

Hyundai is targeting a specific market for the Equus Stretch Edition, specifically middle-aged executives looking for a car that’s classy and sophisticated yet still has enough room for them to stretch their legs after a tough and busy day. The Equus limo, which comes in two engine variants (a 3.8-liter V6 and a 5.0-liter V8) has been lengthened a foot longer than the standard sedan to account for the extra room. In addition to the extra space, the Equus Stretch Edition has also been outfitted with a number of features including a power-driven footrest and massaging seats for rear-side passengers.

To be honest, we have every reason to believe that the Equus Stretch Edition would become available in the US sometime down the road although we’re the first to admit that in the event that they do, they’re going to face some stiff competition from a host of other luxury cars, not the least of which are Lexus and BMW.
