Appeal of Imported Cars Keeps Rising

Hyundai and Kia are worried that they may have to surrender some 20 percent of their Korean market share to imported brands in the long term unless they can reverse the trend this year.

Domestic automakers plan to compete with imports on price. Hyundai-Kia have slashed the prices of five major models -- the Sonata, Genesis, Genesis Coupe, Santa Fe, and Veracruz -- by up to W1 million (US$1=W1,064) with the start of the New Year without reducing the available features.




The appeal of imported cars to Koreans remains on the increase. Their market share exceeded 10 percent for the first time last year and is expected to rise to 11.5 percent this year.

How did their market share double in just five years? First of all, luxury car brands such Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus, played a big role. They succeeded in attracting traditional customers of domestic large sedans like the Grandeur and Genesis with a more affordable and various range of cars.

The second factor has been the availability of more smaller cars from Volkswagen, BMW Mini and Toyota.

In December last year, Volkswagen ranked top ahead of the Benz and BMW in terms of sales. It will introduce the Polo supermini car with a 1.2 to 1.4 liter engine in the second quarter, challenging the Korean market with the smallest engine capacity of all imported models.

Brothers' Battle for Labor Leadership in Britain

Britain's Labor Party has selected a new leader, Ed Miliband. The decision was made after a tense leadership bid that saw two brothers pitted against each other for the top job. 

Losing candidate former Foreign Minister David Miliband spoke at the Labor Party Conference in Britain on Monday. "I am so proud of my campaign, I am so proud of vanessa bruno pas cher my party, but above all I am incredibly proud of my brother," he said.

It was a tight race for the Labor leadership. Five people were fighting for the top seat, but by the end of campaigning it had become clear that there were really on two possible winners -- David or Ed Miliband.

David Miliband was Foreign Secretary until the Labor Party lost power earlier this year. In Britain he is the better known of the two brothers and was initially favored to win.

But in the vanessa bruno end his younger brother beat him with a margin of just more than one percent.

Speaking on Saturday, the new Labor leader Ed vanessa bruno soldes Miliband paid tribute to his brother. "David, I love you so much as a brother," he says, "and I have so much vanessa bruno sac extraordinary respect for the campaign that you ran."

Tony Travers is from Britain's London School of Economics. He says the two brothers' campaign became increasingly tense towards the end of the leadership contest.

"They are close as brothers and I think it has been slightly traumatic, particularly the race to the finish bit of the leadership race. And obviously it will take a bit of time for wounds to heal although I suspect, as in most families, they will," Travers said.

The Labor Party was in power for 13 years, first under the premiership vanessa bruno cabas of Tony Blair and then Gordon Brown, who stepped down as leader after Labor failed to win the general election earlier this year. Britain is now run by a coalition government led by Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. vanessa bruno pas cher

Travers says Ed Miliband is considered a left-wing party member. He has called for a move away from so-called New Labor, a movement that catapulted Labor into power during the 1990s by repositioning it as a more centrist party.

But Traverse says it is unclear in what way Ed Miliband will steer the party. "The British electorate needs to see what he stands for and what his real policies will be," he said. "Just because he was supported as the left wing of the two brothers does not mean that he is now bound to stick there."

David Miliband has not yet said what are his future plans. Forty-year-old Ed Miliband is to speak at the Labor Party Conference on Tuesday.
