Hyundai, Kia hybrids lost in scandal

When Hyundai Motor Co. Chairman Chung Mong Koo went to jail on bribery charges, plans for hybrid cars from either Kia or Hyundai were also jailed. While the chairmen is no longer in jail, his health is ailing as he deals with accusations of scandal. Unfortunately, it is becoming quite clear that we shouldn't expect to see any Kia or Hyundai hybrids for at least a few years.
