    According to the North Koreans all these cars were personally designed by THE GREAT LEADER, Kim Jung Il. These designs are so wonderful that they have been copied by Italian, Chinese, and Japanese car companies.

    I wonder where they put the Melamine. Oh wait!!! That's the Chinese cars! Silly me! The North Korean cars probably have insulation and seat padding riddled with asbestos.

    Greeting, strong workers of the victorious People's Republic! We introduce you to the powerful and attractive vehicles born in the vibrant mind of our glorious and intelligent leader, Kim Jong-il.
    These vehicles are of such quality and sophistication that the unschooled pigdogs of the baby-eating West have seen evil spies to steal our secret vehicle plans. We have seen inferior and shoddy copies of the Hwiparam, Ppeokkugi, Premio, Junma, and Hwiparam II in Italy, Japan and even in China, where capitalism is poisoning the waters of the people's movement.
    But these copies cannot match the excellent, unmatchable quality of the vehicles produced here in the grand republic of the people. You will notice this as the leaders of your party drive by you in these machines, sharing the glory of your work as they overtake you on your bicycle. Rejoice in the fruits of your labor!

    If you wanted under 130 horses from a 2.4, I'm sure I know some perfectly good 20-year-old engines with a similar remaining useful lifespan.

    I think Brilliance must be pleased that they can finally sue other people.

    Also, I think it's great to finally make fun of NK. Lack of internet means no North Korean analyst. :P
