Classy act!

 

.... and clever too; think how little this actually cost them relative to standard advertising campaigns; inexpensive and massive goodwill value; smart!

Boy I bet the Beamer driver is in a lot of trouble over that one.

 

Very smart of Hyundai to be so nice.

I think that driver was the valet parking lot attendant that parked my then new 71 XJ12 Jag. I was in the city for the NYC International Car Show. I had to fly home, yes this shows my age!

I worked with a guy who's parking was excellent. When we would go out to lunch and he would drive he always parked with perfect spacing all around. He admitted to parking cars at a country club while in college. His was the only one who had not totaled a car. He had dinged a few but not totaled any.

Hyundai has been pumping out some good looking cars with an excellent warranty. Not to mention they listened to car enthusiasts in producing a small rear wheel drive sports coupe. I also agree, this was a brilliant idea by their marketing department. I subject that they're one of the most forward thinking auto companies in the US today.

 

One morning when I had my caterham at a car gathering here in southern california, I met a gentleman and his son in a BRG caterham classic. He hads me a card that says "John Krafcik - President and CEO of Hyundai America"

Did he have a Hyundai engine in his Caterham?

I didnt know that BMW made monster trucks!

Looks like the perpetrator "forgot" about leaving a note admitting to his/her responsibility. Hopefully the caught him/her. I sense a cell phone somewhere in all of this.

Nope, it was a crossflow.

 

Now that you mention it...I wonder how heavy/big one of those 2.0L turbocharged motors is...

[Boxologist]

probably be easier to fit in a WCM. Hyundai had to do a bunch of work changing the orientation from tranverse w/ an AWD transmission to a longtudinal orientation w/ a rwd box. many of the EVO X modification don't work on the Genesis 2.0t.

 

it is a very nice car for the money. absolutely overweight, but very fun w/ simple mods.
