I thought Americans are strict to imitations. I know some computer companies and fashion brands claimed to the imitations made in other countries especially in China and Korea. However, Hyundai and Kia are widely accepted by Americans. It is obvious that the exterior designs of some of their cars are extremely similar to the those of competitors. Even name and logo of Hyundai are pretty close to those of Honda. Imagine if you were the founder of company, wouldn't you avoid such name and logo similar to former competitor? So it must be convinced criminal. In my college I will be punished if I violate the academic integrity. Why are they not punished from the industry and why are they accepted by American people? No conscience? Interim cost problem is more important? Or are they not just realized the copying issue?
