Fiat Group to return to Korea

Posted: Thursday 19 November 2009 by Alison

Fiat could return to the difficult Korean car market after a ten year absence, partnering with Cosmos Automobile as the local import company of choice. Another possibility would be a partnership with Chrysler Korea, which could take priority given the new Fiat-Chrysler deal.

The Korean car market is opening up a little, with the abolition of eight percent of the import tax for foreign vehicles, which is part of the plan of a free trade agreement between Korea and the European Union. While the Fiat Group already makes Ferrari and Maserati models available to the Korean market, it’s difficult to speculate on the possible future success of Fiat models. Could the Fiat 500 once again prove to be the foot-in-the-door to an overseas market?

I want to buy a camping car such as LAIKA KREOS 3001 or MOBILVATTA(NAXOS M42) as soon as possible. In fact, I’m not familiar with camping car so far, but I will buy
new one this coming March. First of all, I want to see and study in advance through
the catalogue upon receipt. Would you please give me a tip or information with phone number of agent in Korea in order to consult.
Yours sincelrely.
