Proper quality.The car doesnt look too bad either. Some of the new korean metal is starting to get very good.

In America the Equus is 4th in the market behind BMW ,Mercedes and Audi and ahead of Lexus. And if it was released on its own as a brand it would be the same as Lexus in the JD power surveys.

Like the idea but indeed, a bit lame in execution. Both clips kind of amble along without a proper pun IMO.

Still can't fault them for trying thumbup

Some good production values (they look very Top Gear) but they are let down by woeful scripts.

"I'd rather run through a forest with a target on my back yelling all hunters are pansy's"

Cringe.

As said before, there is no real narrative. They are aimless.

The whole 'designed for humans' idea is a pretty terrible too - it's true for any car after all.
It looks like the ad agency was saddled with a brief of 'near parity performance' for these cars when compared to their competitors.
Shame, as the cars look good and the reviews have been pretty impressive.

They are meant for a South African audience, not UK. And it's better than a Hyundai football themed advert, how boring would that be.

Beards.

Car in the background. What'll it be?

I did initially think BMW 2002, but it doesn't have the Hofmeister kink...

I think Harry Enfield's / Paul Whitehouse's "Clarkson Island" is still the definitive bench mark when it comes to Clarkson p1$$ takes
