All the Asian auto makers have luxury brands that are spun off into separate dealerships. Honda owns Acura, Toyota own Lexus and Nissan owns Infiniti. Hyundai took an existing name of a model and spun off into a separate brand.
You can look up a 2010 Genesis and it's a sports coupe sold by Hyundai dealers (shown below). They borrowed the name and put it on their luxury brand. I'm not sure if the coupe is still made, they came out with a Veloster about 2012 and that's been a Hyundai sports car, probably to replace the coupe.
