Not a chance!

Maybe if they are talking about just China.

Well... look at Nissan's recent turnaround.
Or Chrysler back in the 80's.
If you think about it... it is possible.
Not LIKELY, but possible.

Maybe so...but their names were already established, and they weren't marketed as cheap entry-level automobiles.

When I hear the word Hyundai, it just screams "Cheap!". I could never picture Hyundai or its' partner Kia as atop model manufacturer. They will always be presented as the "Entry-level" automobiles.

Another car manufacturer comes to mind when I hear Hyundai and Kia...that outher company is Scion :blah:
