true that, my friend has Hyundai Sonata for 8 years, it had NO problems and he loves it. It has more than +110,000 miles on it right now..lol...

That car is still going very strong.

Once again, Hyundai cars for that last 10 years has been manufacturing great cars, I would even say better than American cars.

hyundai has a plant in alabama for making sonatas, idk if they make anything else there yet. the plant just opened a few years ago. i believe the rest of the cars are made in korea.

I saw the back of a black Genesis coupe today with dealer tags on it. It actually resembled a G37 to me.

I wouldn't even think of buying one, especially if it's imported from Korea.

They do have a couple plants in the US though, michagan and alabama if I remember right. I doubt the genesis is produced here however.

^^ Toyota has some in the States/Canada

I'm not sure if Nissan has one here..........

some Chevy cars were actually made by Daewoo

I had to look it up, and I was surprised:

Nissan North America - U.S. Manufacturing
Nissan has three production plants in the United States - in Smyrna and Decherd, Tennessee, and Canton, Mississippi. Production at Nissan's Smyrna Plant began in June 1983. The vehicle assembly plant has an annual production capacity of 550,000 vehicles and represents a capital investment of $2.5 billion. The plant produces the Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Frontier and Nissan Pathfinder.

The vehicle assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi, began producing vehicles in May 2003. The $1.4 billion plant now produces the Nissan Altima, Nissan Quest, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan and Infiniti QX56. The plant has an annual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles.

Nissan's powertrain assembly plant in Decherd, Tennessee, began production in May 1997. Today the plant manufactures all the engines for the complete lineup of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles produced in the U.S. The plant also forges crankshafts, and cylinder block casting operations will begin in the spring of 2008.
