GM Daewoo Passes Kia as Korea's No. 2 Automaker

When General Motors took the reigns of Daewoo in 2002, they saw a future in the then bankrupt Korean automaker. Since then, GM has poured a considerable amount of resources into Daewoo and now, that effort has paid off. GM Daewoo has taken back its former standing as the number two automaker in Korea.

Kia has occupied the second place spot, right below its parent company Hyundai, for the past four years. However, GM Daewoo was able to out-produce the automaker by some 180,000 vehicles in 2006.

No doubt Great job GM for the turnaround of the company.

BUT they haven't produced any significant car.Like KIA.

For me KIA is better with cars like magnetis,sorento,carnival...etc

Weird.

I feel like Kia makes better cars.

Then again, Hyundais are exactly the same, but slightly more "luxurious".

Hyundai really isn't that far, product-wise. Their cars are hugely competitive, and they're no longer "warranties on wheels". I could see them matching Toyota in product excellence within a few generations. Maybe not in sales, but in cars, they're moving faster than any other company on the market.
