My post above is a tongue-in-cheek reply to the folks on here that wouldn't believe my reports of improved Kia quality dating back to mid 2004. You don't seem to see much of that attitude around here anymore. :D -Ovaltine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to see much of that attitude around here anymore. :D -Ovaltine I find it fascinating, that a vast amount of American consumers still trash Ford and GM for making questionably bad cars 30 years ago and still refuse to buy their products, but they praise Hyundai, a company heavily subsidized by the Korean Government, for making better cars in five years and are clamoring to buy one.
