In an interview with Dezeen, Loasby said that global interest in South Korean culture is enabling Hyundai to create more unusual cars.
Commenters praised the move with one saying "as a Mini owner and driver, big yes to more fun, small cars". Another was "glad to see at least some interest among automakers in making unique, recognizable vehicles, even at the lower end of the price range".
