That Hyundai-EPA stuff was a one day story that did nothing t hurt their brand. I’ll bet 99% of folks are completely unaware of it. I’m guessing the author has an axe to grind there.
Hyundai posted their best ever sales year in 2012 so I’m not sure how damaged the brand could be really.
Any list with Hyundai and without GM is a leftist hack job. Millions will never, ever buy a Government Motors vehicle again. Hundreds probably remember that EPA “investigation” and boycott Hyundai because of it. Yet Hyundai makes the list and GM doesn’t? Ok, whatever.
