See, Lexus used to be like Hyundai. BMW/Mercedes/etc. fans thought they were cheap crap. However, through providing equal or superior performance to those cars at cheaper prices, Lexus established itself, and stole a large market segment in the luxury/sport arena. Now, Lexus and BMW and Mercedes are synonymous with each other.
Hyundai looks to be following their exact business model. Look how far they came in just 10 years? Give them another 10 and unless the global economy changes radically, you will be singing another tune.

Ding ding ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lexus used to be a joke... Infiniti as well. Look at them now.
Hyundai keeps making huge strides. The fact so many enthusiasts talk isht about their lack of automotive pedigree helps their cause. It means they are taking chances and doing things right. Give the brand another 10 years and I'm sure a lot of the nay-sayers will be singing a different tune.
