In Korea it's a problem cause the goverment is basicaly run by the huge family owned conglomerates(sp?) and so it's hard to pass any laws that tighten emision standard on their cars. The polution is so bad here, but the government can't really do too much to help it.

I HATE RICEYS
AND STUPID VTEC
Camaro has more TORQUE and HORSEPOWER and All imports are STUPID RICEYs. Does that Yellow paint Add 5 horsepower? Import owners are SOO stupid they think Yellow paint and a Sticker adds Horsepower!
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR AMERICAN DISPLACEMENT.
an American Bigblock ownz imports for free.
the NSX and Integra R engines will NEVER last because to get any power out of them, they have to be Rev 8000 rpm. We all know the engines will explode by then. ALso they have NO TORQUE, because they are riceys, and they make me wanna puke! typicaldomisticnazirant over

it would also help if the party in control stops making fake opposition parties to compete against in elections.

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)
I was just saying cause it suprised the heck out of me when I found out. I wan't arguing or dissagreeing with what you said cause you are totaly right about that. Just throwing out useless info
