Founded in Korea in 1944, Kia started as a producer of steel tubing and bicycle parts. By the early 1950s, the company had produced Korea's first bicycle; by the latter part of the decade, Kia had branched out into motor scooters. The 1960s saw Kia expanding its lineup to include motorcycles and three-wheeled cargo vehicles. By 1973, Kia had built a facility designed to make its automotive dreams a reality; its Sohari plant held the distinction of being Korea's first fully integrated automobile production facility.

Hybrid and diesel vehicles keep gaining more and more market share. Major debates and issues such as rising fuel costs, global warming and technological advancements explain this growing interest for alternative powertrains. In fact, hybrid vehicles are expected to reach a 9-percent market share in 2009. Likewise, diesel technology seems to be naturally finding its share of the US market. Diesel-powered vehicles generally burn 30 percent less fuel than their regular counterparts. What's more, car manufacturers have considerably improved their emission levels, quietness and quality.
