Hyundai's dedicated effort to deliver top-quality vehicles pays off once again. The latest recognition is from J.D. Power and Associates, which ranked Hyundai as the number one brand in the non-premium segment in its 2009 IQS Initial Quality Study. The Korean automaker also moved nine rungs up to be positioned at 4th place, just behind Lexus Porsche and Cadillac in the overall industry cutting across all segments.

This is for the second time in four years that Hyundai finished among the top four most quality car brands. Earlier Hyundai's quality was judged third best in the industry in 2006. Many Hyundai models also received J.D. Power and Associates' top honors in their respective segments. The Hyundai Elantra and the Hyundai Genesis have been ranked first in the compact car division and the "all new redesigned" segment respectively. The Hyundai Accent missed the top spot by only one point in the sub-compact segment.

The near-luxury segment is all set to usher in a fresher, more powerful machine. The Hyundai Equus, which is Hyundai's limousine-like flagship sedan, is all set to make its grand debut in the US!

Hyundai decided to go ahead with this decision after a summer tour of the US dealerships. Hyundai Motors America is also considering the possibility of renaming the car for the U.S. market. The American version of the Equus is likely get a more toned-down grille, and much crisper steering and suspension tuning.

Rick Case Hyundai, the leading Hyundai dealer in Cleveland, Ohio, is already looking forward to this formidable challenge thrown to competitors. Moreover, at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show, Hyundai is showing its 2011-model-year replacement for the Tucson compact crossover!

With two near-luxury super cars to rule the market, it spells bad news for competitors. Moderately priced but with performance unmatched by other cars in their class, the Hyundai Equus and the rejuvenated Hyundai Tucson are everything a prospective near-luxury car buyer is looking for. Summer 2010 is not far away, so competition watch out!
