During a recent driving holiday in NZ I was amazed that I only saw a small handful of I30s. There were a number of Sonatas, Tuscons and Getz. There were very few dealerships. Mind you, I was only in the South island.

However, there were a number of major newspaper ads from Hyundai seeking staff for new NZ dealerships - technical, sales, admin etc. Looks like Hyundai are ready to ramp up in NZ.

While there I saw an ad from the NZ govt proposing the use of electronic stability systems (EPS). Hyundai would be very happy that the car ably demonstrating the merits of an EPS was an I30 (vs some non-descript old Japanese car that crashed because it didn't have EPS).

Also went to Vietnam recently, and there were lots of I30s and also a couple of Genesis coupes.
