People said the same about Datsun and Toyota decades ago.

On a much smaller scale, it is not much different than the Ozark Trail vs. Yeti tumblers. You get laughed out of the thread for spending $30+ on a Yeti cup when you can get essentially the same cup for less than $10 from Ozark Trail, yet people think spending $65k on a Hyundai is crazy and won't bat an eye about spending $20k or more on comparable German models.

I know it sounds crazy that a $65k Hyundai is a value choice, and it may eventually flame out as people in that segment aren't usually looking for the most bang for their buck, but I'll never criticize someone for purchasing a Genesis.

Give it time. I recall thinking people were stupid buying those idiotic looking Hondas in the seventies. What do they sell top end Acuras for now?

I understand the sentiment but, it's really no different than how I'm sure many reacted to Lexus and Acura.

I mean, people who grew up calling Toyotas and Hondas "rice burners" probably thought "luxury Honda? WTF?"
