About Hyundai
Hyundai entered America in 1986 with cars so unreliable the brand became a joke, and answered it in 1998 with a ten-year warranty that competitors could not match. Its name means modernity in Korean. The group builds its own steel and ships as well as cars, a degree of vertical integration that almost no other carmaker retains.
