Kia Seat Covers
Today South Korea is known for its efficient and affordable automobile industry, but it all started with the Kia. Formed in 1944, Kia is the oldest car company in the country and so was sort of a trendsetter. The company showed that automobiles can also be made in other countries in the Far East apart from Japan.
But sadly Kia could not fight out the Asian financial crisis and in 1997 went bankrupt. It was then that is business rival Hyundai Motor Company took the company over. Though Kia had a business partnership with Ford, but this American automobile lost out in the bidding to Hyundai. And so today, Kia Motors remains as a subsidiary of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. But in the years Kia operated on its own, the company had several models that were sold in Australasia and also in North America.
