I knew about it, because my company has a 7.1 million dollar contract at the Montgomery Hyundai site.

In the past 8 months, I have learned a few things about Hyundai, and Korea, in general. Here are my observations:

1. All decisions come from the top. The "boss" is never questioned.

2. Honor is critical. Death is better than disgrace.

That's crazy, maybe it's just me and not having cable TV, but I never heard anything about it.

perhaps the share holders wanted to demote him to Kia?

Kinda sad.The news story tells it all.He wanted to have his shes spread over a NorthKorean Mountain.Perhaps his family is from the North originally?

Sounds like a man who wanted to continue his fathers work to peace.
