    Was ist Koreas kultigstes/legendärstes Auto?


    Die meisten autoproduzierenden Länder haben dies getan "Halo" Autos, die bei Enthusiasten beliebt und bekannt sind. Zum Beispiel der Porsche 911 für Deutschland, der Fiat 500 für Italien, der Nissan Skyline für Japan oder der Ford Mustang für die USA. Doch obwohl Südkorea ein führendes Automobilunternehmen ist, scheint es keine Autos zu geben, die über Generationen hinweg bekannt und beliebt sein werden.

    Das Hyundai Genesis Coupé und der Kia Stinger sind die einzigen Autos, die mir einfallen. Beide wurden jedoch eingestellt und werden in Zukunft wahrscheinlich in Vergessenheit geraten.

      Depends what you mean by “legend.” Korea does not really have a single global halo car like the 911 or Skyline.

      For sports/enthusiast cars: Hyundai Tiburon, Veloster (yes, the weird 3-door), Genesis Coupe, and more recently the N cars. None are timeless icons, but they mattered to enthusiasts. Also true, no recent 6-cylinder sports cars.

      For actual Korean “legends” in a cultural sense: Hyundai Pony and Hyundai Grandeur. Those are the cars that defined eras and social mobility in Korea.

      Korea’s car legends are mostly about industrial and social impact, not motorsport mythology.

      Being from the countryside of Korea, you see quite your fair share of SsangYong Chairman from people who used to be influential…

      If we’re talking about sports car I would definitely say Avante/Elantra N is up there. You can argue that Hyundai Genesis Coupe should be up there but that car is very controversial to be considered a sports car(I heard it’s more of a GT).

      For an iconic car it’s definitely Hyundai Sonata and Daewoo Matiz. Sonata now is kinda dwarfed by Grandeur but it was a go to family car back in the day. I don’t think I need to explain further for Daewoo Matiz.

      I’m not adding any Japanese cars like the Daewoo Labo/Damas or 1st gen Grandeur since, they are not very Korean.
