In 1982, I heard the then outgoing UAW President Doug Fraser say in a speech that for every Japanese auto job created in America, it was costing the UAW three jobs.
I still laugh at the the stupidity and irony in that remark.

For the money KIA makes a good car and an awesome warranty.

I’d buy a Kia before I’d buy anything made by Obama Motors.

If you remember the ford Festiva of the late 80’s & early ‘90’s; It was a Kia!

Glad they are building it in Georgia.

Unfortunately, I do. There are some things you can't forget no matter how hard you try.
Kia is Hyundai's low-end line.

I have to admit the Optima is a decent looking car. The sad thing is, my grandfather worked for GM for 50 years, so I’m eligible for the employee discount on cars. But I will never buy Obama Motors.

Hyundai and KIA (which they now at least partially own, I think) have really been “hitting on all cylinders” recently. Their cars are all very well rated and a good value - far different than when they first sold cars here. I TRIED to buy an “American” car (whatever that means these days) for my wife but it was hard to ignore that the Hyundai was not just cheaper - it was clearly, I am sorry to say, of better quality.

P.S. GM tried to pump of the price of the crossover we were interested in by creating an artificial shortage. We would have to wait months to get the one we wanted and pay a premium. They wound up with a REAL, NATURAL shortage - of buyers, that is.

Not. We’ve probably given them a few billion to throw around.

Those are non-union shops. The chance of them getting money from Mr. Obama and the Democrats is right between slim and none.

The 2009 bailout of GM prevented the lame company from going bankrupt, restructuring, rehiring workers at more competitive salaries and increasing the number of good cars made by Americans for Americans. As a result of the failed bailout, GM is bloated with poor stock holders, rich workers and demanding politicians who makes lame stuff that no one wants. Hence, the bailout damaged the entire American auto industry and foreigners like Kia and Hyunai will move in. My 2002 Hyundai has 290,000 miles and still gets 34 mpg.
Socialism (the political control of business) never works. Go Kia.
