Kia just announced they are building a $1.2 billion facility near West Point, GA. West Point is about 60 miles south of Atlanta on the Alabama line. It is about half way between Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta and Hyundai's manufacturing facility near Montgomery, AL. They will have 2 assembly lines and an engine assembly line. The plan calls for it to begin production in 2009. Looks like Kia plans on aggressive gowth over the next few years. That is good for everyone. |

glad to see Hyundai-Kia investing more and more into US automaking infrastructure. With the new plant will come at least six supplier plants as well, that will create around 2000 jobs. Hyundai-Kia big boss Mong-Koo Chung is a man with a plan. Ford or GM should hire him as an independent consultant...he's a pretty brilliant guy. Anyone who fires bean counters and replaces them with engineers is an A-OK guy in my book. Their products just keep getting better and better, and I wish them the best of success with their new US venture. Big 3, watch and learn. |

Going to the DMV to fetch the title for my ZX2, and head over to the Kia place and negotiate a Rio5 deal. I bet the dealership is slow today, it's snowing in Madison. Still trying to make up my mind between the black and the sapphire blue...the black's sharp but that blue is pretty. Drove one again yesterday, had a chance to take it on the highway. Pretty darn smooth little car, especially for its class. It's a comfy fit too, I think I'll be happy with the little car. Todd in Beerbratistan
