This is a 2014 Hyundai Equus Ultimate, and it's what's in my driveway. I feel like a South Korean oligarch already!

Things I like: It's brown; it's roomy and the seats are super comfortable; the backseat is hilariously awesome, full of crazy gadgets and toys for when you're being chauffeured around town.

Things I don't like: Handling is laughable; the 429 horsepower V8 never feels especially fast; gearbox takes its sweet time downshifting when you step on the gas; all controls are confusing and unintuitive; I'm still trying to figure out who is supposed to buy this car and why.
