It's like they're saying, "Maybe our cars are shoddily built, but we'll fix it for possibly the life of your loan."
Plus, it seems the Koreans are willing to build cars for less than the Japanese.

id say your wrong. the Honda Accord my family had was the worst car we've owned in the last 20 years.
Our 2006 Hyundai Sonata at 90k miles so far purchsaed brand new. for 7k less than a similar Camry, has been to the dealership a grand total of 0 times.
Not saying other Sonata's dont have problems. but Honda's and Toyota's do have problems too.
And it wasnt the warranty that made us buy it. it wwas the fact that it was cheaper, roomier, had a bigger trunk, more power, better mileage, looked better and the fact that the only thing the Toyota Sales person could say was "well its a Toyota, what more do you need to know"
Also my 2003 Tiburon v6 had never broken down, except for when my own mechanical mistake... blew the motor
Do not install a supercharger, timing belt, new suspension, headers, exhaust in 7 hours. Your gonna miss something : /
