Who Is The Global Automotive Manufacturer of the Year?

Kia Motors has been named 'Automotive Manufacturer of the Year 2007’ by The Institute of Transport Management (ITM) in its recent report into global manufacturing processes and companies operating within the industry. Over recent years, Kia Motors has made considerable progress in its efforts to promote sustainable development within the industry and these efforts have now been recognised. The ITM report was designed to examine the companies within the transport industry taking strides to minimise the negative factors associated with it. Kia has, since outlining its programme for a new system of management – focused on the global environment – been committed to stepping up its efforts to tackle such problems.

Congrats to Kia!! Unlike in the past; it is now envied by many for its awesome success.

My next door fella who is a CEO of a bank purchased a Kia and he is literally laughing all the way to the bank.

Oh, c'mon, you know Audi has won way more awards for engineering than Lexus (and for most other things- like interiors)... that's not being biased, but it's the truth. The A3, A6 and A8 have won countless awards for being best-in-class and having the best engines and interiors.

Are you kidding? It didn't win because it didn't deserve to. Lexus DOES NOT MAKE AFFORDABLE CARS. KIA MAKES AFFORDABLE CARS THAT ARE EASY TO GET OUT AND EASY TO BUY.

IM SO SICK OF THE NARROW MINDED PEOPLE HERE WHO THINK LUXURY CARS ARE THE BEST, AND NOTHING ELSE WILL DO. KIA WON BECUAUSE THEY MAKE AFFORDABLE, GOOD CARS. IS LEXUS SOLD IN AFRICA? HOW ABOUT EL SALVADOR? GRENADA? PARAGUAY?
KIA MAKES CARS FOR EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE, UNLIKE LEXUS.
