They changed the tailights al little as well as the front end. I think it's powered by a 2.5 though. They also have one that looks like the Sentra, but slightly different.
They also have the 91-95(?) Acura Legend here as DaeWoo's. Funny how an old car, design wise, can sell so well in Korea. Goes to show how Japanese cars take a long time to look "dated."
Koreans are hypocrites here to a huge degree here (just bringing up a point, not saying others aren't). They'll be doing their anti-american protest crap and wait in huge lines to see Titanic. They'll resent the Japanes for stealing Hello Kitty, but buy the products anyways. They copy Japanese style (which is butt fugly IMO). There's more, but I can't think of it right now.
If anyone wants to hear about all the cool things in Korea I can post that too. Believe me, there are lots of things about Korea that are better than the U.S.

Yes I was fully aware of those cars. That was the only way a Japanese car could be sold in Korea. Until recently I believe japanese products were not allowed to be sold in Korea.
But my point is to dispute what the article says about the first engine being built in japan. I find that highly unlikely. (but not impossible)

There's a company called LG in Korea, and they even cell phones in the states, but anyways...they also manufacture toilets, windows, refrigerators, and other appliances. Isn't that crazy?

FYI, I've seen some really nice Tiburons here. I'm not sure if there's any difference from the ones in the states though.
