nah, this won't happen. been to korea a month ago, puro Kia Sportage, Sorento, K5 and K7. they even out number the Hyundai cars there.

and besides, in Aussie and the US sobrang benta ang Carnival and Sorento.

Malabo yan. Dapat pasalamat pa sila sa KIA since siya unang pumatok sa America among the Korean brands with the KIA Sorento line-up. I believe the new KIA Optima/K5 will be a hit din sa america and will outsell the Sonata like it did in Korea.

ang naging feedback kasi sa Korea yung Kia modern ang design, yung Sonata kasi medyo kakaiba lang itchura. yun ang sabi ng mga kakilala kong Koreans sakin, and yung Sonata kasi pinang tataxi nila dun. pero maganda pa din ang Sonata, lalo na yung red! chicks yung itchura hehe!

I'll repeat what I said in that thread.

Whoever wrote the article knows nothing about the automotive business.

Kia is a profitable concern. Their only R&D expense, really, is design and styling to seperate themselves from Hyundai.

[SIZE=4]Yet, globally, they outsell both Mitsubishi and Nissan... and sell almost as many cars as BMW.[/SIZE]

And Hyundai doesn't have the power to close down Kia. After they rehabilitated it, they dropped their ownership stake to under 40%. They don't have a controlling share in the company, anymore.

Wow.

Thanks for the info broNiky
