In your experience, how does Hyundai Equus drive?
Compared to other full-size cars, like
Lexus
Toyota Century
Cadillac
Rolls-Royce
Bentley
Mercedes
BMW
Audi?

Have not driven the Equus, but have driven the Genesis sedan with the V8. Was a very smooth driving car and I enjoyed all of its amenities. However compared to an Audi A8 for example, Im not certain the Big Hyundai can stack up.

Korean car companies are slowing taking over the world, and as they happily offer 5 (Hyundai) or 7 (Kia) year warranties to back up the technology and build quality, a lot of European (based) manufacturers are getting worried. Maybe not the likes of Audi, Merc and BMW, as they sell on the brand more than anything else, and people will pay a premium for the badge, but VW, Ford (europe), Vauxhall/Opel, Fiat, Nissan (Eu), Honda (Eu), Toyota (Eu) etc...
