Korean Kymcos ??
« on: July 17, 2018, 01:21:12 AM »
Read on here that a member has a People 300 that is made in Korea.
Is that true - Kymco has an assembly plant in Korea?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

If they build scoots like they build KIA's and Chev Spark's there is no worry! The Koreans do good work!

I didn't realise Chevrolet were still making in Korea! It must be continuing from their aquisition of Daewoo some years ago.

The big Korean bike manufacturers are Daelim and Hyosung. Joint venture perhaps? :)

Yup, the Spark is from the Daewoo people. GM bought them out of their slump. It will take GM a couple more years to ruin them....

I saw what GM did to Opel in the 60's. Maybe now they can get back to building real cars.
