Japan? I can't believe they'd send the winners to Japan instead of Korea. That's un-Korean.
Gotta be a typo.

It would give me pride to ride the new model on the right.

And what is the model supposed to represent ? A fashion faux-pas ?

Sending winners from Korea to Korea would be kind of redundant, no?

DOH!! I was thinking it was for people in the US. Which doesn't make sense now that I look back at the picture and see the girl has a sign written in hangul and the website ends in .co.kr.

CH,
I was thinking the same thing. You could grab her hat and yell "yippee kay yay" while you were taking that ride…:)

Jesus. The Kia Pride, AKA Ford Festiva.
-Has anybody seen an 80's vintage Hyundai Pony still on the road in Korea? Or a Ford Cortina?
Lots of GI's used to buy Ford Cortina's, used, when Koreans started to buy real cars (anybody remember the "Grandeur"? But the Cortina for years was the only car for rich Koreans.
The Cortina's were good cars; they had a nice straight 6 engine that had a lot of power. But any GI driving one got sneered at for driving what (by then) was a "Ddong-Cha".
The Hyundai Pony just sucked ass.
