摘要

Even as they fall further behind their Japanese rivals, America's carmakers must worry about a new rival driving faster into their backyard: Hyundai Motor. Not long ago, the South Korean firm's cheap and unreliable imports delighted America's comedians rather than its customers. But Hyundai has rapidly improved the quality of its vehicles, which now win rave reviews. On May 20th the firm opened its first factory in America. Hyundai's $1.1 billion plant in Montgomery, Alabama, will not be weighed down by strong unions and the legacy costs of Detroit's pension and health-care promises. This is a huge advantage, though it would count for little without the most striking aspect of Hyundai's rise. Consumer Reports, a popular car-shopper's guide, rated Hyundai's 2004 Sonata, a mid-sized sedan, the most reliable car in America. JD Power, another arbiter, says Hyundai's overall defect rate is the second-lowest in the industry last year-tied with Honda and just behind Toyota.
