One thing we should note is the use of CAD at that time. Other countries did not have such tools. Korea introduced remote computer education in 1981 and was the 2nd country to open Internet connections in 1982. Korea missed the opportunity to launch the first PC by a slight margin due to hostile attitude of society at that time.
Neither the Stellar nor the Pony ever made it here (the USA) due to emissions regulations. Our first Hyundai was the Excel, which seemed to be developed in part by Mitsubishi, who in turn was part-owner of Hyundai. That relationship meant the Mitsu 1.5 engines were found under the hood. We didn't have any Hyundais larger than the Excel until the 1989 intro of the Sonata.
Este fue uno de los primeros autos de mi papa lo usaba para taxi en punta arenas y luego lo permutaron por una chiriban sin duda el mejor hyundai de la historia!!! Lo ve stellar
Actually Im right. This is the order.... 1968-1982 Cortina 1983-1989 Stellar Sonata was created in 1985 1990-2013 Elantra and Sonata replaced Stellar Wikipedia
Yes - but both the Pony and Stellar were sold in Canada, and they sold in large numbers. Now that they are over 25 years old, any ol' yank can import one with ease across the border...and there are still a few around if you can wait...
That Stellar seen on the video (at 0;54) has the grille of some early 1990's Mitsubishi L200 crossed out with some fifth-gen Ford Taunus (so does its chassis) and also, a rear end of some continental European Chrysler GTS (aka Chrysler LeBaron GTS)... Good to know that Hyundai cut ties with Ford in '85 when FMC jumped into Kia (hence Kia retailed the Mercury Sable) since Hyundai decided to side with Ford's oddball rival Chrysler when they owned Mitsubishi at that time and it is no secret that a number of pre-Kia Hyundai cars were designed by some continental European designer who also penned a number of Fiat cars (as said above) until Peter Schreyer, who penned the designs of most Kia cars recently and today... I hope that relationship between Hyundai/Kia and Fiat Chrysler works since it is coincidental that Chrysler in Mexico rebadged a number of Hyundai cars before... - ialociN adneG
El Hyundai Stellar es un auto de excelencia, que salio a la venta a en Chile, a mediados de la decada de los años 80 ny se dejo de vender en 1990. hay versiones que son mecanica y automatica. Era muy poco usado en taxis.
1983 was the year when school uniforms of all types were banned in Korea("어떤 형태의 통일적인 복장도 금지한다"). This freedom resulted in democratization in 1987. But nothing remains of this act now.
