It is my understanding that the Hyundai is made up of parts manufactured in
this country, and that the parts are shipped to Korea, and assembled over
there.  If this is true, it would be a good car to consider, because the
parts must obviously be available in this country.
  I also thought it was curious that it was cheaper to assemble them over  
there, and ship them here.
