I think they're turning it around, nice cars, decent prices...especially in the near luxury and luxury car lineup with the Genesis sedan and the new Eq*** (I can never spell it right).
I wouldn't mind purchasing one, but as stated my only fear is longterm reliability...but I say that, and drive a Volkswagen.
Thanks for the input guys. Right now i have a Fusion Sport and like the looks of the next Gen Fusion but I will give the Genesis and Azera a hard look next year when i buy..or maybe later this year
There are some folks who just won't consider a Hyundai simply because it's a Hyundai; then there are some of us who realize what great bargains they are in every classification from subcompacts on up, and wouldn't mind buying another one.
If I had $45K lying around, I'd get rid of my wonderful 2007 Elantra for a Genesis with no qualms whatsoever.
And that would get you a loaded V8 Genesis. Over in BMW land you could barely get into a V6 3-series with leather for that kind of money. The BMW is better in some respects, but the Genesis is a far better value.

The first notable improvement on the Bimmer front is that it's not a V6, it's an inline
Most of the ambiance surrounding BMW comes from bragging rights, and the status symbol the brand has...Not every BMW owner is a purist, which creates many of the problems...the brand itself does build some fantastic automobiles...as does Hyundai.
Toyota a quality car, did you forget about the problems with the sticking accelerator and Toyota's reaction to the situation. I would still buy a Toyota if they didn't behave so badly over that incident. As far as Honda goes I went to test ride one in 1984 when there was still a waiting list for the cars, the salesman informed me that "we don't test ride Hondas" so they are out of my loop.
I love my Subaru Forester but I have since retired and really don't need the all wheel drive function anymore so I have been thinking of trading it in for a Hyundai Elantra Touring model to save on gas.
Hyundai's have been on the market since at least 1993, how long does it take you to determine if its a quality car ? Just asking -
Interestingly enough Kia has routinely been a very poor perfomer in all of these measures despite being nearly identical to the Hyundai versions. It is obvious, that the cost differential came from somewhere in the cars. So, I would not personally recommend Kia and they are still viewed as a sub mainstream brand.
I'd chalk it up to the average age of the buyer being the culprit. Kia owners are quite likely younger, drive harder, and defer maintenance more than a typical Hyundai owner. Back when GM had Olds and Pontiac, typically the Pontiac's and Chevy's had younger owners, and the cars had worse reliability than their Buick and Olds kin. Same for when Ford still had Mercury. The Mercury's were usually rated higher than Ford, due to average age being higher.
