Hyundais are Kias, exact same engines, drive trains, suspensions, everything.

Only difference is sheet metal and interiors, and Kia wins on both counts in almost every automotive magazine and in sales volume increase.

Hell, they even changed the name of the parent company to the Hyundai Kia automotive group due to the huge increase in popularity of the Kia name in the US and South America.

Anyway, back to the question....Some Euro cars are status, and some aren't.

Cars are a status symbol based on their price. Doesn't really matter where they're made.

European cars are generally a mixed lot and have a lot to do with the country of origin. The French can't build cars. Except for the Lotus and the RR, neither can the British (sorry, Jags are piles of junk). Germans obviously builds nice cars (BMW, Audi, Mercedes). Italians build nice exotic cars but can't build an everyday driver to save their lives. The Swedes build quality cars but they are devoid of personality.

In Cali and New York, luxury brand European cars are seen as a status symbol.

In areas where they are common no one makes a big deal out of them though. You get at least as much credit for driving a hybrid as for driving a BMW where I live.
