Yea they did. Lexus and Genesis.
But they are not in league with Audi, BMW and Mercedes. They want to be and "feel" like it. But they are not  |
I don't know if these days the Japanese brands gunning to "feel" exactly like the Germans. I think their standard line is more focused on comfort vs. performance handling, as designed. Now, 10 years ago, I would say you would be right in the ball.
Overall, I think the Japanese brands now our owning their differentiated factor.
*disclaimer - only referring to the standard lineup and not the N or RC lines. |
Well, Lexus is the only Asian luxury brand part of the "Tier 1" group, along with MB, BMW and Audi. |
Ah yes, you're correct. I was thinking of Genesis, but obviously N is not part of Genesis 🤦*♂️.
I do believe Genesis has the potential to reach the top tier brands at much faster pace compared to how Lexus achieved during its climb to the top.
I was a cynic, but the new generation of the G80, G90 and GV series really impressed me. |
Definitely impressive cars, Hyundai needs to focus on improving the image since many customers buy for the badge as well as establishing a premium dealership network, this really helped Lexus back in the day and could do the same for Genesis as no one wants to purchase a luxury car from a Hyundai dealer.
