Hyundai and Kia needs to realize this and build a car worth what they ask for it. Even if they did lower the price it's the name that kills it...

Read, or listen more carefully to the ads. At least I have never heard them claim to be "better" than MB or BMW.
What they do claim is that they can out-accelerate a certain BWM, or out-brake and other model.
The claim to have more room than another luxury car, but I think they refrain from the "better than a ___" simply because it is so subjective.

Your final sentence shows you are a name-conscious buyer, and not objectively looking at the car itself. There is a Genesis forum. One of the threads asks what did you trade in for your Genesis. While there are a few Sonatas and Azera, there are a lot of Lexus, Infinity, and BMW owners out there now driving Genesis.
