What do people in Japan/China think about Hyundai?
 

Do the Japanese & Chinese hate Hyundai because its Korean or do they embrace it along with all the other JDM stuff they have? Just wondering for those of you who have been to Japan and China and have experienced peoples reactions there to KDM Power! laugh.gif

Lots of history and bad blood between them

when i went to beijing i noticed there were a LOT of hyundai's there. almost all of the cabs were elantras. as far as aftermarket i have no idea.

If i remember right when kaijai came back from japan he said in the years he lived there (roughly 5) he had only noticed two hyundai's in japan the entire time he was there.

does that give you a idea?

I saw this in an article last year.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Also as per the Nikkei, Hyundai will withdraw from the Japanese passenger vehicle market. Hyundai’s Nipponese sales are a disaster. From January-October Hyundai sold just 764 to the Japanese.</div>
