Hyundai named "Marketer of the Year" by Advertising Age by toye

This article about Hyundai is an excellent example of Hyundai's rise in the auto and advertising world. It's getting harder and harder keep putting down Hyundai with yet another ringing endorsement of "HYUNDAI" and their products.

If Hyundai really brings Equus to the US, how about giving us the Asian and KDM market name to it: Centennial? That sounds so much better than Equus.sp

To me that's worse than Equus.. I expect they will expand the "Genesis" to include 3 vehicles. During the past year and half the Genesis has developed a name and reputation for itself. It will be one more step in the direction of Genesis becoming it's own nameplate.

For some reason "Centennial" conjures up images of Conestoga wagons lumbering over the Great Plains.

Books and movies. There was actually a (famous) book called "Centennial". It wasn't about a Hyundai.

I think it's Michener's best one.
 
In Hyundai news, not much.
 
There's the usual "If you've mistaken Hyundai's Genesis sedan for a Lexus or Mercedes-Benz, you are forgiven. It's an easy mistake" review at the Montreal Gazette.

I think they should just call it "THE BIG KAHUNA".

That brings to mind the movie "Independence Day".
 
I see nothing wrong with putting a small group of premium cars under the Genesis banner. However, creating separate dealerships makes no sense in today's market.

...the lousy early 1990s economy that scuttled Mazda's plans for an upscale Amati make. The attractive 1992 Mazda 929 was the manifestation of what was to be the Amati car. This economy is even worse than that of the early 1990s and it would be foolish to have separate Genesis dealerships.
