Post by: joey on November 02, 2008, 15:22:17

I have a notice for future i30 owners in Europe :
Tomorrow, on November 3rd, begin production of i30 cars in Czech Hyundai factory in Nosovice. Plans are to produce 18.000 cars to the end of the year 2008. Long waiting periods for Hyundai i30 in Europe are probably over.

Hyundai want to build that factory to Turkey (as they are producing Accent,Matrix,etc. like the other brands like
Toyota (Auris and Corolla Verso) , Honda (civic saloon) , Renault , Fiat ) but the government didnt have a deal with Hyundai.

I am happy for Czech people, take care of the new i30's

Hey joey - which one is yours ?  

Title: Re: News from Czech
Post by: joey on November 10, 2008, 17:25:56

Mine was made still in Korea, I have it since July. So I'm pretty no patriotic in this matter of fact. :D
Nevertheless , i take i30 as the home made product, sort of.

I'm also curious, which car parts will Hyundai use for their Czech born cars as original equipment. For example tyres : near (85 km) KIA factory in Slovakia use for i30 sibbling Kia Ceed,  Michelin Energy tyres.

Hmm.. Wonder if the first few cars would be 'buggy' for quality or really good for quality, as they would have 1000 eyes on them at first?
