DPRK North Korean SUV PMC Cuckoo

North Korea

Does anyone recognize this North Korean PMC Buckoogee (which means Cuckoo)? It is made with shared technology by joint venture with South Korean auto makers.

Has anyone ever seen a PMC (Pyeonghwa Motors Corporation) North Korean car? If so, please share pictures of it.

I created this by translating screenshots from the homepage of PMC. Photo credit to the original website: http://www.pyeonghwamotors.com/

PMC has what seems to be unparalleled advantages to undercut cars produced anywhere else in the world (even China and/or India) for two reasons.

#1: They pay factory workers $15 US dollars PER MONTH Yes, per month. See paragraph 3 of page 2 of this Washington Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/01/AR2008120102574_2.html

#2: They benefit from South Korean advanced technical expertise and business management. The North Korean factory in Kaesong is located just across the DMZ from South Korea and a few thousand South Koreans from over a hundred South Korean companies commute daily to the North Korean factories.
