Not to veer too far off topic, but it seems to me that Korean automakers are now taking the risks that the Japanese manufacturers used to. Look at Kia and Hyundai. They're directly competing (although largely through imitation), but they are daring other companies with their warranties, their pricing, and their on-paper performance. Isn't that what Honda and Toyota did to become huge?
