Why support the Korean economy? In my opinion the looks/body style of the Hyundai Veloster leaves a lot to be desired. Nissan is getting into the Hybrid/electronic vehicle market and is more aimed this direction than performance. Fortunately Nissan will keep the Nissan GTR model but unfortunately for 370Z enthusiasts the 370Z model will be discounted in 2020. Hopely Nissan will come out with the 400Z or similar performance vehicle to help keep Nissan in the performance vehicle market. We have yet to see what Nissan/Infiniti will unveil to the vehicle market in the next year or two?

Why support the Korean economy? Well, because it isn't the Chinese, perhaps?
What device did you type that on, because I'll bet it was made in one or the other! LOL.
I'll respond to your anecdote about reliability of old Hyundai product with my own - my wife's old Pony was her favourite vehicle next to the 370Z. Reliable as hell, and drove through the worst blizzards, too. Sadly, it was prone to rust. But those were disposable cars just like the early Datsuns were in their day.
I think that Hyundai and Kia will continue to emerge as automotive stars for years to come. They've made huge strides in reliability and respectability of late. As long as they don't blow the momentum, I think that companies like Nissan need to watch carefully over their shoulders. While Nissan is faffing about with batteries, they might well be overtaken by a Korean 2 litre!
