Ten years ago, the idea of a luxury vehicle from korea would
have seemed preposterous. But times -- and consumers'
sensibilities -- change. Behold the $66,000 Equus Ultimate, a
car meant to challenge the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Lexus.
Made by Hyundai, the Korean marque better known for $13,000
Accents and $20,000 Sonatas, the Equus won't put the Germans and
Japanese out of business, but it's still surprisingly good. If
you're a luxury-vehicle buyer who views value as the pinnacle of
automotive virtue, it should be on your shopping list,
especially if you demand that your ride come with back
massagers, a refrigerator and other goodies to make that weekly
ramble to the dry cleaners truly memorable.  Flashy it's not.
This car won't make your neighbors suspect that you've gotten a
huge promotion, hit the lottery or entered the illicit-drug
trade. Instead, it's the perfect plush ride for those moments
when anonymity is a must, as when a hedge-fund guy finds his car
surrounded by Occupy Wall Street marchers. In
