With quality design and manufacturing, as well as an excellent, no-risk bailout program, Hyundai is gaining market share despite the economic downturn.  The auto company is working with the recession and the difficulty of consumer job losses instead of against it, regaining consumer confidence with a bailout program.

As part of their Assurance program, Hyundai is offering a bailout for customers who want a vehicle but are uncertain about their financial futures, buying back a customer’s car if he or she is not able to pay for it due to job loss or a disability a year after purchase.  The auto giant will also make the car payment for three months for those out-of-work consumers who lose their jobs but want to keep the car, allowing them a 90-day grace period for them to find work without ever asking for these payments back.  That means you can buy the new 2010 Hyundai Chicago Accent Sedan or a Chicago Elantra and, if an unfortunate job situation befalls you in the next year, there’s no risk!

Hyundai is the first automaker in the U.S. to offer a return without having to worry about equity or depreciation.  This Good Samaritan-like ethic and security assurance has brought Hyundai up in the market and has brought on a greater confidence in the auto consumer, considering the rise in job losses and unemployment leading customers to think more than twice about their auto purchases.

Hyundai has also gained market share most likely through relating to customers on a regional, rather than national, level, in dealerships, such as your local Chicago Hyundai dealership, allowing consumers to interact online and check out the latest and greatest before even stepping into the dealership.  Hyundai also sponsored the Academy Awards last year, a most appropriate sponsorship from an award-winning design and manufacturing company, matching customer satisfaction to a contemporary risk-free bailout program where everybody wins.
