Hyundai actually took the time (years and years) to build itself up. Hyundai selling a RWD luxury sedan? I wouldn't have a hard time believing that. Hyundai has been consistently building bigger and better products over the decade.

But... Daewoo?
As far as I know, Daewoo has had a luxury sedan on the Korean market in the past, called the Chairman. It basically looked like a Mercedes-Benz E- or S-Class clone, as I assume they used M-B components. The Holden-based sedan is much better-looking than the Chairman, IMO.
