The same thing happened to Volvo several months back. They lost a bunch of their SUV's rights when the SUV was first released. Now that's gotta hurt.

The vehicles were insured, so the company will not suffer a financial loss because of the accident, Hyundai official Kim Hwo-young said.

Even though I wouldn't buy one, Hyundai has made some incredible strides in quality over the last few years. Sucks that they lost all those cars :|

With the Volvo incident, some people went down and removed them from the water. All they needed was a little bit of repair and then they were sold cheap.

I wonder if that will happen with the Kia's and Hyundai's? Hahaha a new car for 2 grand.

Well at least now I know my work at the Kia dealer will be slow. Not many new cars for a few weeks I'd say.
