I think Hyundai would be happy to fall between the value brands like Kia, and the luxury brands like Mercedes. Models like the Genesis will help shift their image slightly upscale, though still not quite luxury. That makes sense. I honestly don't know what market they are going for, but whoever it is, they better watch out! It's a very nice car at an unbelievable price.

...they should've simply called it the Genesis by Hyundai and completely left the Hyundai name off the car?

...a luxury division of its own called Amati. The attractive 1992 Mazda 929 was a preview of what the aborted Amati would've been.
