More Women Behind Wheels of Imported Cars
More than one in three owners of imported cars were found to be women, a recent survey said. According to the Korean Automobile Importers and Distributors Association (KAIDA), the ratio of women to total owners of imported cars reached about 35 percent this year, marking the highest level ever.

Women accounted for 22 percent of owners of all registered cars. This year, almost half of the motorists who registered imported cars were women, with the ratio coming up to 48 percent. Women exceeded men in the age bracket between 50 and 60.

Imported cars making inroads into local market
The average price of an imported car was 78.2 million won, or $82,600, in the first quarter -- only about four times more than the 18.7 million won charged on average for cars made here. In 2000, by contrast, imported cars were 5.7 times more expensive, on average.... The best-selling model during the first quarter was Audi's A4. The BMW 320i and Toyota's Lexus IS250 were ranked second and third, respectively.

Wives Found Far Richer than their Spouses
A survey indicated married Korean women manage an average of W14.4 million (about US$12,000) of "secret funds" without the knowledge of their spouses, who in turn had only W3.4 million (about US$3,000) kept aside -- or a mere quarter of how much their wives have tucked aside.

Well, if you can't get the real thing, you may as well settle for a car, right?

And I thought a car was supposed to be the extention of a man's sexuality?

Oh SHIITTTT, I saw this, really, I saw this same damnable article, and I was thinking "Is he going to thread this one???? Nahhh. There's no way to spin it, there's no spice".

But again I'm wrong. I even consulted my dogs, and they didn't think he'd do it.

Women are traitors to korea, they buy foreign cars instead of Kias and hyundais.

At least women know that imports are better then the garbage they manufacture here.



You also have to remember they are most likely the wives of rich men and since this society is ape shit fanatic about apearances you can see why they drive foreign cars.
