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!

So I’m in the market for a mid-size sedan and I’m looking at a few different options.  After all, there are a slew of mid-size sedans out there that all claim to the be the best, but they can’t really all be the best.  I mean, many would claim that their baseball team is the best MLB baseball team, but we have yet to see a 30-way tie at the World Series.  So right off the bat I’m skeptical.  I need to get my hands dirty and test out these cars.  Find out which one really is the best.

So I started making the rounds and I have to say, I was impressed.  All cars offered great amenities and each had appealing differences.  But there wasn’t one that stuck out.  Until I visited my Chicago Hyundai Dealership and had the opportunity to finally test drive the 2009 Hyundai Sonata.  Now I have to say, I’m really impressed.

When Hyundai announced their 2009 Elantra Touring, I could not wait to get the chance to test drive it at my local Chicago Hyundai dealer. Being a big fan of the previous models, I was sure that this new model would be sure to live up to the same standards.

When I showed up at my Hyundai Chicago dealer I could not help but to test drive Hyundai’s new Touring model. That’s right, the hatchback is back. The 2009 Elantra Touring is a spicy little ride.

I realized all of the perks that this new model would be able to deliver. This new design offers much more room than before, with the most cargo capacity of any vehicle in its class.

Hyundai's Gas Promotion Just in Time

With summer driving season upon us, and recent attacks on Nigeria’s oil pipelines (the U.S. imports almost half of Nigeria’s production of light crude, which is the oil used in gasoline refining), gasoline has returned to the headlines as energy analysts predict higher prices at the pump, which may just end up paying dividends for Hyundai. Already benefiting from an increase in attention after edging Toyota in J.D. Power & Associates Initial Quality Study, which measures problems in the first three months of owning a new vehicle, as reported by buyers, the Korean automaker implemented a summer promotion on Tuesday, June 30, 2009, guaranteeing buyers of its vehicles one year’s worth of gas at $1.49 per gallon.

Visit your Chicago Hyundai dealer to find out more!

It was a little more than a decade ago that Chicago Hyundai dealers first introduced drivers to America’s Best Warranty as a way of showing car buyers how much faith the company had in Hyundai’s vehicles. Fast-forward ahead to today and the warranty is still in place. Now, Hyundai is demonstrating to buyers Hyundai’s faith in them. Allow me to further explain.

The Hyundai Elantra Touring offers a smooth ride, and a surprisingly spacious interior

Growing up, my siblings  favorite argument was about the back of the car. Neither of them ever had enough room, and heaven forbid either of them ever sit in the middle seat, or behind the driver and survive with a little less leg room. Now they’re older and wiser, but their arguments haven’t really progressed. Put the two of them in a car together and you only need to wait to see who will throw the first punch. With that thought in mind, I decided it would be a good idea to bring both of them with me to a Chicago Hyundai dealer for a test drive of a2009 Chicago Hyundai Elantra Touring.

The moment I’ve been waiting for since the Equus hit the Asian market is here.  The Equus, Hyundai’s premium luxury version of the Genesis is coming to North America.  I certainly hope it is coming to my nearby Chicago Hyundai dealership.

Hyundai revealed the Blue-Will plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in Seoul a couple of weeks ago. I’m glad Hyundai is getting into the plug-in hybrid arena.  My guess is that since they have something going on the HEV realm, they will be ready with a plug-in electric hybrid car when all of the other car makers drop them on the North American market in 2011 and 2012.  And I’m also guessing they will make a huge impact, like the company has done in every other segment it’s ventured into.  Somehow Hyundai will turn this concept into a more affordable plug-in HEV than anyone else can offer and then give it the best warranty.

Here is a great feature from ABC News that shows us how great it is to be a Chicago Hyundai dealership. Hyundai’s dependability, quality and ability to meet the demands of the American car buyer are things we’ve known about for years, and more and more people continue to take notice.
