The digital ink has yet to dry on some of our Geneva Motor Show coverage, and we're already shifting gears getting ready for the New York Auto Show. To help get us in the New York state of mind, Hyundai has released this shadowy image hinting at the refreshed 2014 Equus that it will be unveiling at the end of the month at NYC's Javits Center.
While we can't make out any major changes in this single image, Hyundai promises at least 30 updates to its flagship sedan including improvements to styling, cabin materials and ride and handling as well as advancements in advanced safety features and "driver technology displays." If we had to guess, the latter sounds like it might be something along the lines of a digital, reconfigurable gauge cluster. The only major difference we can actually see in this image are the new multi-spoke wheels, but we're sure Hyundai will be dropping some more hints before the official introduction on March 27.Continue reading Hyundai teases updated Equus before Big Apple debut

I do wish they'd tone it down a little. I like the actual body shape, it's big and slabby like an old lexus LS. However, the grille, intricate headlights, and fussy wheels just make it look l'argent nouvelle.
It's kinda like the mustang. Started out clean and simple:

But idle hands are the devil's playground, and the designers were eventually churning out this:

I don't want fluidic styling to go the same way. The new tucson is already too far gone.
