Do you mean like Toyota invested in Hyundai? i don't know how they did it. stop calling me on my bullshit -vbg- i just know, being in Seoul in mid 1990s, there were a lot of Lexuses, Camrys, etc., but they all had Korean names. even Koreans would be embarrassed to outright steal that much from Japanese, so i assume it was some form of FDI/licensing. Yes in US. No in places like Eastern Europe, Russia, etc as they started to sell there recently. BTW, Koreans are #1 imports in Russia. interesting, i didn't know that. also interesting how Koreans have been able to surpass Japanese in new product categories like cellphones, also up there in LCDs, plasma TVs, etc. still can't see paying as much for Samsung as for a Sony, though.
