Even considering Germany's higher average labor costs than South Korea's, it is possible to have quality and a well-made vehicle while keeping costs under control......Hyundai and Kia have proved that in recent years, which you yourself have seen.

I remember when I was deciding b/w a RX300 and a ML320, looks like I chose the winner....
...now that I think of it all the unreliable cars like the ML320 SUV and the BMW Z3 are made in the US....
...isn't the New Bettle made in Mexico, how well is that thing made?
