Hyundai is a Korean company founded in Korea in 1967. Hyundai has made major inroads in the American marketplace in the last few years. This is due in no small part to the enormous celebrity of American-born Oscar winner, Jeff Bridges, and his promotion of Hyundai the Walmart car.
We saw what happened when we let the Japanese take over the American auto market in the 1970’s – arguably by our own undoing. They just took advantage of our own stupidity and greed.
I personally have nothing against the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans or any other of our Asian competitors.
What I DO have a problem with is handing over so many of our blue collar jobs on an unfair playing field, especially when it is aided and abetted by otherwise decent Americans who seem clueless of the effect of their actions.
Of course, my particular pet peeve is with Jeff Bridges shilling for the Walmart car known as HIE-YUN-DIE and what is, in my opinion, a huge mistake on Bridge’s part.
Please join me in politely asking Jeff Bridges to bail out of the embarrassing Hyundai advertising campaign.
