...sabotage in Greenwich will be added to a national bill that is already of staggering proportions-and it is rising steeply every year. No one can fix an accurate price tag on vandalism, which is not always reported, not always identifiable as such and covers everything from toilet graffiti to arson.

When Hyundai first entered the U.S. market in 1986, its Excel sedan--an econobox with a $4,995 price tag--was an instant hit with frugal buyers. But customers soon discovered they were getting what they paid for: Excels were prone to quality-control problems and frequently needed to have parts replaced.
