Because almost nobody speaks/knows Latin or would ever have a reason to know that.. and like the other guy said; the logo is a very stylized version of a pegasus. Even after you mention it and I look at it I have a hard time seeing it. It's also misspelled so even if you had a basic understanding of Latin and pieced together "equestrian=horsey stuff, equs means horse... equus must be another language that I dont know nor would I like to know... I would however like to know why theres a flying fish on my $70k Hyundai, why I bought it in the first place, and why it's now worth less than a Chevy Aveo"... that's my impression of a normal guy who took Latin in high school and bought the car, drove it for 70k ish miles and has never looked at it before...

In NZ for most models Hyundai depreciate better than almost any other vehicle on the market saving perhaps Toyota.

A few issues with this review. Doug didn't mention one of the biggest selling points of this car: the Lexicon sound system which is absolutely amazing. He also doesn't mention the air ride suspension which is why the ride is really sublime. Also, there's a reason you can get the newer ones for a great price. Hyundai started stripping all of the really nice extras out of these cars after 2013. 2011 to 2013 had the refrigerators, but Hyundai scrapped those from 2014 on. Also, you wouldn't want to go with a 2011 because the following year they upgraded the engine and transmission to much better models. If you're in the market for one of these, just do your research and figure out what's important to you. I've had mine for about a year and I love it, but there are quirks that make you shake your head like having Bluetooth calling, but not Bluetooth audio which means you have to use an aux cable.

[@Hardcorerado]

Hyundai removed the fridge and the massage feature in 2014. I’m not aware of any other features they removed. Also, Bluetooth audio and dual dvd screens (among other things) were added in 2014.

[@stevenmueller1112]

@@Hardcorerado I was listing what they removed in 2014, I didn't say they gutted the whole car and the newer models were POS. I'm just saying that Hyundai stripped some of the features that made their car stand apart from the competition in 2014.

[@brodywalker8579]

Hyundai changed their warranty for 2nd owners. Instead of the original 10/100k you drop to 10/60k. So almost all of them on the market are out of warranty based on mileage.

this is true. I found this out today when I bought mine.
