LOL not me. I don't care about the size of the window areas, each has his/her own tastes. However if accidents and visibility are the reasons to say it shouldn;t be allowed, I say if they can't drive properly with those, err slits, shouldn't be allowed to drive at all, because that simply means they don't know how to drive. Just my 2 cents.

""Try looking out of the Chrysler products. Is that what you want?? ""
 
If that Chrysler product is a Dodge Magnum, then YES!! The Magnum windows may look short from the outside, but from the inside for over four years they have worked just fine!
The low windshield is really nice when traveling West near sundown. Much better than sitting in some of those goldfish bowels out there!!

This has been brought up, but Hyundai uses more robots in the manufacturing process than other manufacturers. The robots are also manufactured by Hyundai, who is a leading manufacturer of robots. I think that gives them a large advantage in price and quality.

Interesting video.
 
2 things stood out to me - Hyundai is now #5 in the world. Gosh, I remember when they had broken in to the Top 10, and that wasn't too long ago.
 
The other is the average wage - $22/hour. No wonder Detroit is not cost competitive.

Hyundai's been #5 since late last year. The pecking order now is: GM, Toyota, VW, Ford and Hyundai I believe.
 
And judging from recent events, I suspect we'll be looking at a whole new list of top 5 soon. Toyota-VW-Hyundai-Ford-GM , perhaps?

I bet VW drops. They are too dependant on Europe.

Not really. Remember that VW group consists of different brands. Their sales in east Asia particularly China constantly increase every year, and there are no signs of sales loss anytime soon. For example, many people don;t know this but Audi A6 is the highest selling midsize luxury car in the world, more than even the famous Mb E-class.
 
Hyundai group includes Kia. Kia plays in the lower economy market, while Hyundai takes the upper market nowadays.
