How in the world do you hijack a ship carring cars. the ship is huge. N20 how about you shut up, Hyundais are already a force to be recognized. Don't care much for Kias.
So hopefully then the Third World jackass will hjack a GM transports so they can keep that trash off our streets, we all know GM can not build a reliable care.

It was just a joke. I know this is a serious situtation. No need to be so up-tight, sheesh.

Dmanero I sincerely hope you know that Hyundai is to Kia as Chevy is to Pontiac or WAS rather.

As long as there were no Genesis Coup?s, Cee'ds, or Souls on board, it's no real loss. Apart from any people who have put a deposit on a new car (regardless of what it is).

Most of the comments here are obviously posted by ignorant people. If only you guys knew how incompetent you are...
Anyway, I hope the ship crew is unhurt.

How do they get jacked so easy? It seems like you really have to be one stupid caption to let that happen. Do these ships carry any weapons for defense?

i agree with mickey f1..this is also a terrible loss to the distribtors in the Gulf that were expecting these cars to be delivered... this has really caused some problems.... not to mention the 2400 customers waiting for their cars

Haha. Wow! You are obviously not a car guy. GM makes the CTS-V, XLR, SRX, Corvette, Camaro, Holden Monaro, Opel OPC models, etc, all great cars for the enthusiast. The GMs in China are probably crap because they tend to be old-school Buick models for the 3rd world built in China, and we all know "Made in China" means quality deficient. BTW, with the exception of the Genesis Sedan and Coupe, Kia and Hyundai were among the cheapest cars sold in the US.

Good, the people who are buying kias and hyundais can go to hell anyway. And what kind of name is Asian Glory? It sounds like a porno film. :)
German cars FTW.

one of the most hilarious comments here but you should know most German cars are a lot more expensive than these Korean cars...

Everything except the "German cars FTW" part, which was not intended to be hilarious... it's only a true fact

Can't believe the number of idiotic comments I'm reading. Hyundai is doing better than most car companies these days. To compare it to any American car company? Ridiculous. Hyundai is not bankrupt, Hyundai didn't need Government support to stay alive, Hyundai knows how to make profitable cars, Hyundai isn't killing off models and brands, I could go on forever.

I notice in the picture the cars are right hand drive. Unless the picture is reversed they were not bound for Saudi Arabia. Keep Safe Crew.
