Again, why not?

If you mean catch up to them, perhaps not.
But don’t rule that out, either.
they are definitely driving the same line that Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Datsun did, only those marques had a 30 year head start. Just like these Japanese makes did, the Korean twins have done a lot to put their earlier days of “low price, questonable quality” behind them. And based on the strategy they have adopted, I’d say they are closing the gap while the Nippon crowd sits on their laurels.

I didnt think anyone really gave much of a crap about Toyota anyway lmao....same with any of the other Japanese manufacturers. I give the twins their credit and Hyundai/Kia has come quite a way. Especially in the aspects of making solid cars at fair prices. I'd take a new Stinger over the Maxima any day of the week. Or pretty much any other sedan in a similar class/pricing/statistics etcetera

I've never heard anyone get excited about a Prius lmao...but in all actuality there are a few decent rides that were semi overlooked...especially those turbo Mazda models. But toyota, Honda, Mitsu haven't really produced much to write home about in recent offerings. We have to get out of the stigma that Hyundai/Kia vehicles are complete crap and stop praising these car manufaturers that created something awesome in 1995....
