In 1992, Kia Motors America was incorporated in the United States. The first Kia-branded vehicles in the United States were sold from four dealerships in Portland, Oregon in February 1994. Dealers in 1994 sold the Sephia; and a few years later, the United States segment expanded their line to include the Sportage. During the Asian financial crisis, Kia declared bankruptcy in 1997; and in 1998, Hyundai Motor Company acquired 51% of the company, outbidding Ford Motor Company which had owned an interest in Kia Motors since 1986. After subsequent divestments,[18] Hyundai Motor Company owns about one third of the company, but remains Kia's largest stakeholder
