Hyundai has had a great year so far—in Chicago, Hyundai Elantra and Sonata vehicles are everywhere you look—and if the Korean automaker is going to stay competitive with the big boys in the auto industry (the Toyotas and Hondas of the world), it’s probably going to have to put on its thinking cap every once in a while.  Because why go toe-to-toe and trade blows with the heavyweights when you can out think them?  Even considering how far Hyundai has come, Toyota and Honda are, in all likelihood, in a better position to absorb the roundhouses typical of a grueling fight.
