Hyundai: Humble and Hungry

How the Korean automaker cleaned up its act to become the hottest car company in America.

Hyundai's 2002 XG350 was no milestone of automotive progress. However, the first Korean car to venture beyond a $25,000 price left its mark when Automobile Magazine pitted that entry-luxury sedan against a similarly priced Mercedes-Benz C230 coupe. Back then, Hyundai was clawing its way out of the muck while Mercedes was trolling for bargain hunters.

First Drive: 2011 Hyundai Equus

Hyundai is continuing its ambitious march forward with the bigger, pricier, and more luxurious 2011 Hyundai Equus, set to arrive in August.

The 2008 introduction of the Genesis sedan has been the exclamation point to Hyundai's rapid ascension from bargain brand to mainstream automaker. The premium, rear-wheel-drive entry showed the Koreans had the confidence and desire to take on more prestigious and more established brands by going head-to-head with the likes of the Lexus GS460 and the Mercedes-Benz E550. Hyundai isn't slowing down, though. The company is continuing its ambitious march forward with the bigger, pricier, and more luxurious 2011 Hyundai Equus, set to arrive in August.

First Drive: 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

The homebrew hybrid.

Hyundai's corporate work ethic and frugality have resulted in a strong emphasis on developing and manufacturing key components in-house. By avoiding the hybrid technology used in the Sonata Hybrid's chief competitors-the Ford Fusion, the Nissan Altima, and the Toyota Camry-the company has smartly dodged the licensing fees of patented technology and tapped existing hardware for its first gasoline/electric car.
