AFTERa spring/summertour of U.S. dealerships,

Hyundai announced

it will import the new

Equus flagship sedan here,

beginning in summer or

fall 2010. Target is the

Lexus LS, though the pricey

Equus (sticker is expected

to be between $50,000 and

$60,000) could also pick up

near-lux buyers left strandedby the disappearance of the

Lincoln Town Car.

Although the South Korean

version doesnt include

groundbreaking technology

as do a Mercedes S-Class

or BMW 7 Series, U.S.-spec

models will include such

equipment as adaptive cruise

control. Launch powertrain is

likely to be the new 5.0-liter

direct injection version ofthe Tau V-8, which will drive

the rear wheels through a

new eight-speed automatic

transmission. Our versions will

also likely get a more toned-

down grille, and much crisper

steering and suspension

tuning.

Hyundai showed its MY

2011 replacement for the

Tucson compact crossover

at Frankfurt. Conceived anddesigned at the automakers

Frankfurt-based design/

tech centers, the ix35 is its

latest model to benefit from

a newfound emphasis on

design. Hyundai hints the ix35

name will replace Tucson in

North America.

Hyundai keeps pressure onShows new

Tucson, confirms

Equus for U.S.

THE LUXURYwagon businessisnt growing in the U.S. BMW is likely to

scrub importation of its 5 Series wagon

after the hatchback 5 Series Grand

Touring makes its debut here, evening

out the lux estate business as Cadillac

adds the CTS Sports Wagon. And the

bestseller in this category is the Audi A4

Avant, which moves about 4000 unitshere in a good year.

Thats not enough to keep the king of

luxury import wagons away, though. The

latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz

E-Class wagon goes on sale in the U.S. in

June 2010. Why is it the king? Because

it gives up the sport wagon conceit

and the fast D-pillar in favor of a more

Againstthe grain

Benz still believesin lux wagons

for the U.S.

some things cant be replaced.dont let unfair laws take you off the road.
