Yeah...the Hyundai News Bot caught this the other day:

Its probably a smart move for Hyundai considering they have an extremely small market share in Japan. Better to pull out, and save some money, then to stay and lose a ton.

Agreed. And I am still a little shell shocked how well they are doing in North America. It's not just about low prices either. They listen to the consumers and act on what they hear. Something I hope to say someday about my beloved GM here in my backyard.

Maybe GM will make some changes now that the CEO resigned.
