Nissan won’t be opening up shop until the middle of next year by which time it’s thought Toyota will have also established a new sales network in the lucrative market. A Nissan Korea spokesman told the Chosun newspaper, “the market for popular import cars is growing in Korea. For example, Honda is selling on average 300 units of its popular CR-V SUV a month.”
Toyota, meanwhile, plans to launch the Camry sedan in South Korea and may follow it up with the Corolla depending on how successful sales are.
