Hyundai and Kia are to pay fines for lying about fuel economy !!!

Have had some issues with, and loss an interesting "small claims" case regarding their hybrid's claimed fuel economy. That is being appealed, but its has some huge ramifications

Another reason I'm glad I didn't buy a Kia. I rented a Kia Rio once and hated it, compared to it my Yaris is a racecar.

You are right, hybrids are crap period. Wait and see ...Ford,GM are next or maybe not, because they are "favored" car companies since US and to some extend Canadian tax payers have saved these (ok,not Ford...they had to disolve their so-called premier group that consisted of Aston Martin,Jaguar and Land Rover now owned by Tata....an Indian company,Volvo was sold to some Chinese outfit...Chery group...i'm not 100% sure, then they lost Mazda...now they are independent ...Mazda still buys crapy engines from Ford) but their lies will catch up.Chrysler...let's not even go there.You watch...as companies get weak and in trouble due to whatever VW will scoop them all out.VW want to be number one in sales by 2018...and they are almost there...i"m talking world wide .
