Update - Korean Manufacturers Big Winners After Earthquake

Ten days ago I mentioned that the manufacturers from Korea would be the big "winners" in the tragedy that struck Japan. Today it has been confirmed in many mainstream media outlets that Hyundai and Kia are adding shifts and seeing their share prices rise as the Japanese industry struggles to resume production.  Click on the title for a link to Automotive News article.

My recommendation to any fleet managers or business owners with fleets is to consider the Korean brands if you are not terribly domestic loyal in your market. There will be opportunities to expand the choices for fleet vehicles in the market this year as the Korean brands and Volkswagen products look to expand their market share. Don't miss a good opportunity.
