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.
