Unfortunately, brand perception is just as important as the product itself. It's why Hyundai still has it's old name to overcome even though they now build superb products. They're even playing with luxury with the Genesis and now the Equus. The Equus will be very hard to sell ($55K Hyundai) even though it competes with $75K cars. Just the way it is. |

Which is why they've bought the one of the cheapest cars Toyota makes with one of the highest MPGs. Smart on their part. And yes, people will buy it for the AM badge. And yes, they will be snobs. But rich people buy dumb stuff all the time. Nothing new here. |
