Wow, somehow I was unaware that Hyundai now owns the majority of Kia.

You ever notice how similar their models are? Nearly all of their line ups are clones with different trim.
They don't the majority. Hyundai owns 1/3 of Kia and Kia actually is a partial owner in several Hyundai subsidiaries.
I stand corrected: they owned 51% back in 1998 but more like a third now.
