Al, well like I said before, it's not the advertising, which I think is pretty good.

To give you a "pro-bailout" analogy, though, I could present Hyundai to you. They've closed the quality gap with Japan, but the stigma of Hyundai remains. Hyundai is doing everything they can to turn their negative image around. The 10-year powertrain warranty is well-known, of course. But now for 2009, anyone who buys a car but loses his or her income within a year will be able to return the car.

And oh yeah, Hyundai is heavily subsidized by the Korean government.
