What's next? A pull out? I cannot imagine why South Koreans would put up with VW's quality issues--even without the emissions scandal--because Hyundai/Kia products are easily superior to corresponding VW products in the first place.

My understanding is that VW got into got water with South Korea because they falsified emission and noise certification documents for over 40,000 vehicles they sold there. I got that from an AutoSpies link.
