Maybe it has to do with the cost in launching a new brand name. I'm sure it will happen down the road but when I look at the equus im not even sure it has any hyundai branding on it.
My guess is the difficulty in opening new dealerships. I mean, if you're going to spin off a new brand, you need new locations. What's the point in having the Hyundai brand and the Genesis brand if you go into the same dealership location to buy both?
