I'm with you re. the potential of Hyunday and Kia.

I rememeber the nasty things said about so-called Japanese rice-burners when they first arrived in the US - around 1969-70, as I recall. Priced lower than anything else on the market, and getting better gas mileage. It didn't take them long to surpass the then-abyssmal quality and longevity of the US-made cars. The rest is history.

You don't have to be a current maker of quality cars to become one. Becoming one seems to be another matter entirely.

And, being such a maker doesn't mean you will continue to make quality cars, either!
