So the opposite of Japan? I hate region-anything, but to me, that makese more sense than hoarding all the good stuff while sending crap elsewhere.

Countries export their goods elsewhere to get top dollar for it

That, or the golf club wasn't designed for use as a sledge hammer.

I don't get it, why is he smashing the car?

Basic Gist:
Those that didnt see or read his blog.

His Genesis started to drop RPM and engine starting dying. Hyundai asked him to prove it in which he did with his video blackbox but they refused to acknowledge it as a problem and blamed him as an inexperienced driver.

He then demonstrate/protest at Seoul Motor Show where he was promised a replacement car. Later on Hyundai took back their word and asked him to pay for the exchange.

So he then went to Shanghai Motor Show and demo/protested there, where hyundai finally offered him new car. He got the car and turns out that car was also a lemon. Also suspected that it was a fixed up car made to look like new.

Obviously Hyundai denies all the claims and such.

Tl;Dr: Guy gets lemon Gensis replaced with another lemon suspected of being it a 'fixed up' used car and is refused any warranty work, problems acknowledged.

FYI: In - Korea bought Hyundais dont have nearly as good warranty coverage as overseas.

he was a used car salesman so he knows some stuff about cars too.

I think it's our governments preventing the awesome cars from showing up here. Something about protecting our car manufacturers.

That's what it used to be way back in my days. Probably more to do with not wanting to convert to left hand, or meeting weird NA standards.

In Canada, we get the shitty stuff locally and import the good stuff everywhere else.

Openroad Hyundai sold me genesis with cracked windshield that was patched up, already had 800km on it (according to KT new cars are supposed to have less then 50km) and didn't give me iPod cable that was supposed to come with it :(

ive heard this before. people in korea dont own cars older than 4 years, so they apparently dont build their cars with top quality parts. not sure if its true

TheKingdom2000 10-13-2011 10:54 AM

This is just like eating pineapples in Hawaii. If they're grow there, why don't they taste as good? Cuz they shipped them out!

The same applies to any products, be it phones, televisions, food, etc. built or manufactured by a Korean conglomerate and sold within their domestic market.

Ask Alphamale. I'm sure he'd love to tell you all about it. :fullofwin:
