Hyundai announced at the New York Auto Show that they will be offering a nice bonus to anyone who buys their Equus this September; all models will come with an iPad instead of a boring old paper owner's manual. North American chief executive John Krafcik told the Times, “Who reads a 300-page manual anyway? Instead, they’ll have a gorgeous color touchscreen loaded with the manual electronically, as well as photos of the whole Hyundai lineup.” Owners will be able to use the iPad to find the trunk-release switch, schedule maintenance appointments and locate the fuse box. The Equus is priced around $50,000; the iPad currently runs for $499, and blends way too easily.
