KIA?  That's what I see.  A minor player, if a player at all.  The Yugo (not a bad little car, really a Fiat) was never successful in our market, neither was Fiat, Triumph, Peugot, or any number of other makers.  As the article says, the US car market is a TOUGH market to penetrate.

Well, the Chinese do have a lot of hands (prisoners?) to build cars for *very* cheap.
