- Korean automobiles take up a very different segment of the market than U.S. automobiles, and therefore do not take away jobs.
- 78% of Korean auto sales in the U.S. are from small cars with engines below 2,000 cc, whereas 86% of U.S. auto sales are from large cars with engines above 2,000 cc.
- Korean automakers are bringing their production facilities into the US. Since 2005, Korean companies have invested $2.4 billion in the US, creating 78,265 American jobs in 2009.
