It takes a shot and probably misses by a mile.

Luxury Hyundai, I do believe that is an oxymoron...

They used to say the same thing about Toyota and Honda, but they have both done well in the luxury car market.

People thought that about Toyota and Datsun/Nissan, too.
It is worth noting that Toyota execs have stated that is *Hyundai* that keeps them up at night with worry.

The big question is, will it carry Hyundai badges, or is 'BH' their luxury brand? The Hyundai badge simply won't work on a luxury car, but a new brand is worth a shot (worked for Lexus).

What I'm interested in is the specs of the BH. They already have a 3.8L V6 with 263 hp; I'm curious as to how much power they'll be able to get out of the V8 they're planning, and whether or not the BH will have rear wheel drive. EDIT2: It apparently is going to be RWD! I found a thread with loads of spy pics here.

Their new Santa Fe is a good car. Hmmm I think that the Toyotas of this world should look over their shoulders, may be not now nor in 5 years time but give 'em 10 years and I am sure that they will be there or there abouts.

There's a fair chance that big Hyundai will succeed in the US but I'm not surprised that Europe isn't mentioned with one word as a probable additional market.

The Hyundai coupe is quite good so I guess they can make good cars if they want. But they don't have to bring it here, thanks Hyundai.

They won't. Cadillac and Lexus should have proven them by now that the only luxurious vehicles that can be sold in Europe are European.

Then theres the biggest issue of brand image...that will take a while to wear off. It did for Lexus and it was lucky enough to have Toyota as a base for its cars. |

Mark my words, Hyundai is going to be the next giant. They already are into heavy machinery. Their attack on Honda and Toyota will be on all fronts and if the Japanese and Detroit are not worried yet, they should be.

Unloved and lacking a title
|
The Korean car makers are really stepping up to the plate. There was a report in The Age before the 'public' motor show began that Euro car makers had been scouring over the Hyundai's, comparing quality etc. This is surprising in so far as two years ago it would have been the Asian's looking at the Euro's for quality tips.
It's unbelievable, but Hyundais are no longer just shit econo boxes, they are quite good cars and have been getting relatively good press in Australia. The Coupé, Santa Fe and Sonata especially have been real surprises. This luxury car has the potential to be seriously good. |

![]() Hyundai has a huge financial background, so even if their first attempt should fail, they will try again very probably succeed in placing a luxury vehicle. |
