hyundai success...

cheap + a 10yr, 100,000 drivetrain warranty is tough to beat. koreans are beating the japanese at their own game. the japanese used to take apart western tech and copy it shamelessly. many of the successful japanese engines of years past are copies of german design. hyundai initially bought machinery including engine castings from mitsubishi. i wouldn't be surprised if they are still doing it and with more partners now. i think one of their cars has a tiptronic tranny licensed from Porsche/Audi/VW...
