>the former head of BMWs M division of 30 years is now head

What if the car world isn't worth ruling? What if everything is an appliance with a pedestrian-safe front end and fastback design for mpg? Who cares how something drives if it looks like shit?

I'd be open to it, but Korea needs to find their own identity for carmaking, they just come across as cheap knockoffs since their aim is to look at each market, vaguely copy the designs, and undercut the price. It's a big risk but if they stepped out on their own and made something unique they could shake the stigma.

And yet those sport cars that hyundai offer still sucks to its competitors

Are Hyundais actually good or reliable?
I know fuck-all about them other than they seem to aggressively rip off whatever's popular at the time.

Mitsubishi does too.
In fact almost everything Hyundai sells today was instructed by the Mitsubishi conglomerate initially.
