    Hyundai and Kia, outside the US, are some of the most reliable cars you can buy. They’re almost up there with Toyota and Honda, but aimed at the more budget end of the market.

    For some reason, probably corruption, they can get away with selling much shitter cars in the US, so of course they do. Same way TV manufacturers can put ads on their TVs and the yanks lap it up as long as it’s cheaper lmao 😂

      Is it corruption? The US car market is pretty competitive.

      I suspect the cars are cheaper in South Korea mainly due to tarrifs, shipping, and localization.

      Also, ads provided by the TV itself came from Chinese companies making their TV’s cheaper for Chinese consumers, so it isn’t an American idea.
