GfK also mentioned about the resistance experienced by Hyundai during the initial phase of its entry in America.
GfK added, “However, we would add that the quality, performance, safety and reliability of the models make all the difference. And Hyundai initially trailed in all those regards. Perception took years to change, because the company itself took over 15 years to offer competitive products.”
