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

I saw this in an article last year.

QUOTE
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.
