I think the Forte, Sonata, Genesis are great cars that will change the perception of kia/hyundai
but i don't think their image is still where it needs to be for them to be charging what they are (up to $50k for a Genesis...)
and I find it hilarious that they're even offering the Equus here... lol a $70k Hyundai?!
but maybe those that think like me are in the minority?

no. personally I dont think i will own a hyundai.
I have recently drove a genesis 3.6 and thought it was dissapointing. The engine was loud and was idling at near 2000rpm? the interior was nice but no match for a lexus or european car.
The fact that they claim they can compete with a BMW 5 or 7-series is a joke.
If the price was lower (50k for a new one, 35k + for a used one), then i think it would be worth it.

I think bottom line for me and many others is for that kind of money I'd rather have a car that drives nicely and might also be a lot smaller but at least it is satisfying to own/drive
Must say though it's all well and good if you've got no will to live 
Nothing to do with it being a hyundai, you could say the same about the toyota avalon, just very undesirable cars with cheap plastic buttons and typically unusable space.

Also, I'd take a Genesis over an Avalon any day. The Avalon is just.... *shudder*

$50g i rather get ES350/GS350 (shelling out an extra $5g-10g is nth to pay for something thats actually worth the price tag + the name). G37 sedan/ M37 sedan (again if you can afford $50g, im sure it is not that hard to fiance/lease a $58g vehicle or whatever) And if i was really looking for a mid/large size sedan i wouldnt mind dropping $60g on a E/5 series

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

At the end of the day you still spent 50k on a hyundai.
You simply cannot win an argument with that car. At the end of the day it's still a Hyundai.
IMO, rather go with something euro or jdm. Too me it looks like a compilation of parts from all luxury sedans superglued together. It's got that 'borrowed' look rather than being unique. Posted via RS Mobile

Not sure how Lexus came about into the luxury market...but wouldn't it have probably battled the same problems as Hyundai is doing now by trying to enter the same market?
There's no way they're going to price their luxury sedan cheaper than "what it's worth". That is of course pending on the fact that it's worthiness is on par to the cars in the competition and automotive and consumer reviews.
