Well, not wanting to get flamed here but I drive Kia Sorrento. It is just coming up for its first twelve month (15,000K) service and so far - zero defects.

The purchase decision came from what I have read on the forums (Territory forum in particular) on the BA and to a lesser extent the BF as well as test driving the Fords and also looking at the 1 to 2 year old Fairmonts and Fairlanes. And well, I bought the Kia (ugly perhaps but has not let me down and has not been back to the dealer once).

Sorry fellas but my exposure to the new Fords was not a good one. Neither is it for a friend that has a BA. Put more simply, not real good cars. Will now put on flame suit and run away very quickly!!!!!!!

The surprise ruling - the expectation was that Hyundai Motor Chairman Chung Mong-koo would get a suspended jail sentence - initially sent shares in the country's top carmaker down over 3 per cent today as investors worried about a management vacuum.

Mr Chung (68) wearing a dark grey suit, appeared shaken after the verdict. He quickly left the courtroom, which was filled to capacity with Hyundai group employees, including Mr Chung's son, Chung Eui-sun, the president of sister company Kia Motors.

Mr Chung, who will be appealing the sentence, was arrested last April on allegations that Hyundai and its affiliates set up slush funds to pay for political favours.

Hyundai shares fell as much as 3.15 per cent following the sentencing but recovered to close flat at 69,800 won.

Shouldn't it be for buildin sxxtbox cars????

So thats where the money from the "Build Quality Cars Fund" Went!
