Come up with something that isn't just another flavor of "rare doesn't equal valuable". My drained checkings account must never know.

    Korea's first V8 but with the V6.

    Of course the styling is dreadful, but not worse than an S-class, Lexus of Maybach of those years. At least it's more special / exclusive.

    See, my threshold isn't that high, I'm just happy someone here recognises the product. Doug DeMuro tested one of these once, and the video gave me confidence to actually buy this one.

    It looks better in black. Does it have the trick with the passenger seat so that you can stretch your legs?

    Unfortunately not, I was quite disappointed when I drove cross country to realise not every one of these can do that. :S

    What kind of inoffensive knockoff Mercedes from a third world country is this? I legitimately have nothing. This photo hides the body line but it overall looks really ugly? Can't tell. The nose sticks out too far and I bet it's got a horrible engine and is absolutely dreary to operate.

    1st gen Equus/Centennial, Korea's first V8. This one is a V6, though. Troublesome to operate in a sense that all parts need to come from Korea for a low initial price + outrageous shipping. Or I go to my local Hyundai dealer which offers all parts, but every Norwegian touching these parts doubles the prices so I can't affjord them.

    I saved for a Toyota Century for a while and got myself and agent to buy a car off auction in February '20...weeks later COVID hit and small country currencies implode, we lost 40% of value against the yen. Then this "copy" of the Century showed up and I liked it.

    Could've had a V12, or a V8 Japanese hellcat with 500 less horsepower. FFS you could've gotten a V8 in this 3rd carbon copy of a luxury car, but no. You had to get the worst option to match the worst car.

    Your savings account can't comprehend the bullet it unknowingly dodged

    Helt korrekt. Solgt som "Centennial" i arabiske land, og slik ble den solgt til WAWI rederiet. Eneste nye av den typen solgt i Europa, resten kom som lotteribiler etter sportsarrangement som Hyundai sponsa.
