I saw yesterday that Obamama suspended the FTA with Korea

I can't find any articles on it.

BBC quoted that SK exported 700k cars to the US whereas the US was only able to export 5k cars to Korea.

I've not seen the article on the BBC website only on the news.

Cool. I guess one way to gauge the truth of it is to ask yourself, "How many American cars have you actually seen on the roads here?" In my town, one. Exactly one. And it was an ancient hobby car that someone had fixed up.

Wonder how this will affect the US Beef situation over here? Think it will still be available?

Do you mean, "Will Koreans still want to eat good, inexpensive beef?"

I see some rebadged Daewoos with the Chevy emblem but I know it's just poseurs. I see some Mustangs,Crysler 300ms and Cadilliacs up here in Seoul but not as many as Audis, Beemers or Lexi.

No, they prefer over-priced, unsafe, stringy poor quality beef so that farmers can buy their Vietnamese brides and pollute the 'pure' Korean blood.
