Hyundai Equus to Be Put Out to Pasture
Hyundai Motor will stop making its large Equus sedan next month, the carmaker said Thursday. With that, the car that has been the flagship for Hyundai-Kia for nearly a decade passes into history.

The Equus was launched in the Korea in April 1999. But after Hyundai¡¯s first rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan Genesis was launched in January this year, Equus sales plummeted, and only 374 were sold in September.
