Same goes for motorcars. The Far Eastern automotive marques should be limited to their Japanese originators, companies like Honda &#038; Toyota. You can imagine how much we despise the Kias and Hyundais (that name! ugh! more examples of faulty Korean misdirection) of the world. So it goes with Caucasian trumpet blowers. Al Hirt forever!
