Hyundai Uncensored

Matt Degen's Auto Motion, from the OC Register, writes about our Elantra!

"No, the Elantra is not exactly executive-class. The name of the game here is inexpensive, reliable and most of all fuel-efficient transportation. That last boast is one of the best things about the Elantra Blue. The four-door, five-passenger vehicle is rated at 26 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, up eight percent and six percent, respectively, from the 2009 Elantra GLS. The dash is Spartan, but every button is clearly labeled and within reach. The cool blue lighting at night is a nice touch.
What the Elantra Blue lacks in creature comforts and panache it makes up for in warranty, which is Hyundai’s standard 10-year, 100,000-mile guarantee for the powertrain.
There’s no arguing that the Elantra Blue provides a good value and great gas mileage from an automaker that is truly coming up in the world. I would recommend the car for young drivers or folks on a budget whose priority is to get from Point A to Point B without having to stop at the bank along the way."

Discover Equus...Discover for yourself what luxury now is. The Equus will be at OC Hyundai today and through the weekend, making a rare appearance

Before this amazing car is ready for the sales line, which we anticipate to be sometime in September of this year, you have an opportunity to see it this weekend at OC Hyundai. We are one of the few dealers in the region who will be selling this beautifully designed luxury automobile.

What's being said about the Equus:

"In Korea, Equus is powered by a Lambda 3.8L V-6 (290-hp/264 lb-ft) and Tau 4.6L V-8 (375-hp/333 lb-ft) and features a handsome design. Its exterior is matched with many highly advanced creature comforts and safety options as well. There's even talk of a bigger 5.0L Tau V-8 coming to the model range for added performance." - Motor Trend

"In addition to the big mills, it'll get an 8 speed automatic transmission, Lane Departure Warning System, Vehicle Stability Management System and Pre-Safety Seatbelt System." -- Jalopnik

"The cabin where the Equus shows that it's truly meant to do battle against the likes of the Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS and BMW 7 Series. All the toys are present: push-button start, a console-mounted control interface for the in-car systems, classy wood accents, upmarket switchgear, and even Grey Poupon snack trays for the rear passengers. Oh, those rear passengers get massaging back seats, as well. It's very impressive looking and it stinks of quality. If Hyundai ever decides to gamble and attack the next price segment up from the Genesis sedan, they clearly have the ammo to do so. The Equus is the real deal." - Autoblog

"In Korea the car starts at the equivalent of $96,000, and taking on the Benz S-Class in America is not what Hyundai has in mind. At least not yet. Hyundai hopes to get the price down to near $50,000 in the States, where it would give Genesis sedan owners a car to move up into." -- Edmunds

The Ladies put us in the TOP 3!

We all have our ideas on “a woman’s car” — that is, vehicles more often than not bought and driven by women — but a new report backs up those purchase decisions with hard data, revealing which models and brands are preferred by females.

TrueCar, a Santa Monica firm that gathers vehicle buying and pricing data, said its study on gender differences is based on 13 million vehicle registrations from the past two years.

In addition to finding which car models are most often purchased by women, the study found some other interesting tidbits, including the fact that more men than women — a rate of 64% to 36% – register vehicles in the U.S., even though females make up 51% of the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

When it comes to the car models themselves, here are the Top 9 purchased by women, followed by the percentage registered by women:

1.Volkswagen New Beetle, 56.1%
2.Nissan Rogue, 53.5%
3.Hyundai Tucson, 53.0%

OC Hyundai celebrates Hope on Wheels

CHOC Children's patient Ariana Alonso (9), of Santa Ana, prepares to put her green hand print on a white Hyundai vehicle, which will represent her courageous battle with cancer. Alonso and six other CHOC kids put their prints on the car, which will be taken around the U.S. to share their hope with other children and families. It was one of the many activities at Sunday's American Cancer Society and CHOC Children's Cancer Institute "Courageous Kids Celebration" at Fairview Park, in Costa Mesa.

Seven children who are either battling or have survived cancer put their colorful hand prints on a white Hyundai vehicle during Sunday's American Cancer Society and CHOC Children's Cancer Institute "Courageous Kids Celebration" at Fairview Park, in Costa Mesa. The prints represent the courageous battle with cancer of the kids, and will serve to bring hope to other children and their families as it travels throughout the U.S.

Congratulations!
