True, but the GT-R also has 40 years of lineage and a proven background. No Hyundai model can make that claim.
My issue with Hyundais in general is a philosophical one; they didn't necessarily have to work to get where they are. It's easy to stand on the shoulders of innovators and reverse engineer your competitors' efforts; it's something entirely different to come up with groundbreaking designs and technologies that their Japanese counterparts pioneered before them.
But I must give credit where it's due; progress is progress. Anyone who's driven an early 90's Hyundai can attest just how far they've come.  100k Hyundai? Maybe with someone else's money. .02
