Sort of reminds me of when Hyundai took V8 sedan and raced a 2.7 liter porsche Boxster to prove they had a fast car 0 to 60?

Hyundai as a manufacturer isn't rooted developing performance oriented cars. Korean culture in general doesn't have many motor sports enthusiasts compared to other cultures. Why would anyone expect them to make an exciting car? They have marketing wings in US who help dress up the pigs of cars they make with skirts and lipstick but let's get real, Hyundai isn't going to make a credible 3 series alternative anytime soon.
Because the root of Hyundai performance is a group of AMERICANS BASED OUT OF CALIFORNIA.... Not Korea. They only build the cars there at the end.

Things aren't always what they seem in a Global Business Market.
