Ever hear of Daewoo Heavy Industries? They make excavators, railcars and ships

And Hyundai has their hands in much bigger pots than we realize.

Yep, a pot full of Immobilisers that they didn't fit to cars being sold in the US 🙃

I’ve had a good chuckle many times about people buying Japanese cars and dismissing Korean manufacturers as rubbish.

Guess who made the Mitsubishi Lancer engines for over 20 years? Hyundai. Which always seemed odd because Mitsubishi is no slouch when it comes to heavy manufacturing.

Suzuki SV650 motorcycle engines, which has a cult following? Also Korean manufacturing.
