It's my wife's Hyundai Sonata. I've visited the factory, and it was very impressive. The steel rolls in the press plant said "US Steel" on them. The engine plant is on site. It's not just an assembly-of-kits operation; it's the real deal. Hyundai are also putting jobs into Michigan at their Ann Arbor engineering center, and a California design center. Why on earth would I consider a Chinese designed, engineered or manufactured car with a Chrysler badge? I wouldn't.

Either way im not too excited if Chrysler begins selling the "China-Car-Co" Wannabe Hyundai. I mean look at what the next dodge neon will be? Another import, but who cares they do have the hemi so they are still macho.
