There was once a time when Hyundai was the car company most likely to be mocked by those too young to remember the Yugo. Even Beck poked fun a the Korean automaker in his 1999 ballad "Debra."

But Hyundai has recently grown up and entered a new phase of respectability, at least enough that they've decided to introduce the Equus limo for a modest $112K. For those keeping score at home, this is stretchier than the Mercedes S500L by a good 15 inches and will accommodate the entire Korean basketball team. It's got a V6 engine, so it's going to be missing a little in the power department, but comes with awesome massaging seats.

As further proof that the auto industry is all topsy turvy, the always reliable Toyota just announced its biggest recall ever: 3.8 million cars, including Lexuses, Camrys and the Prius, because of floor mats. Hyundai's floor mats, on the other hand, are immaculate. [via Luxist]
