But that can be done in 3 trims w/ more of a spread on price (remember, here are actually 3 trim levels over the base for just the V6 Genesis sedan).
Also, Hyundai left a good no. of the "goodies" out of the USDM Genesis (such as adaptive cruise control and adjustable air suspension) due to pricing concerns.
Unless Hyundai is going to omit things like reclining and massaging rear seats in the USDM Equus, then it would be better to have at least 3 trim levels.
