Sure it depends on which market segments. We can't actually compare a 2.0L naturally-aspirated gasoline-powered CR-V and a 2.2L e-VGT diesel Santa Fe, but in the more basic market segments the Korean vehicles are still perceived as a "cheaper" alternative to the more traditional Japanese ones. And since Hondas are not so widespread in public services (such as taxis and police cruisers) it's still perceived by some customers as "prestige" (altough I believe it's not exactly a problem if a car is good enought to survive under heavy duties)...
