I'm not trying to be rude, but I think it's too early to bank on the idea that Hyundai "re-ignited" automotive competition after only making one ok sports car. I think the only way Hyundai would get any respect is if they can continue to make more cars that are on par with the Genesis coupe, as well as winning races in motorsport (e.g. F1, Le Mans, Champ, Indy, etc.)

Honda is great company with race proven technology. Honda engines were considered the ticket to Grand Prix glory due to their power, reliability, sophistication and winning track record. Honda supplied its engines to six constructor champs (Williams, Mclaren, Lotus, etc), as well as five driver championships (3 by Senna, 1 by Piquet, and another by Prost).
