Interesting that you should mention Hyundai and Kia since they are owned by the same company (Hyundai Heavy Industries IIRC)
Hyundai has been relentlessly pushing themselves upmarket while leaving Kia as more of an entry level brand. I think it's a good strategy for them when the Chinese automakers start their push into N. America.
As to Mitsubishi, I like the designs, its the execution of them that is sorely lacking (and why they needed to "give away the store" with those ten year warranties...)
