John Krafcik of Hyundai USA said he is not worried about Chinese brands competing for market space in the U.S. “It took us 23 years to get to where we are right now—we’re the 5th largest auto company in the world, 7th best selling brand in the U.S.—but we still only have a 4 percent market share. So imagine how long it will take Chinese car brands to catch up. If they do come to the U.S., we think it will come through existing channels,” he said.
