Another Bold move from Hyundai?

What do you guys think? There is virtually no risk to car ownership.

I'm not 100% certain if I interpreted it correctly but I believe when you turn your car in you are just not responsible for the rest of the payments; any payments prior to turning your car in are lost. It's not like you can just buy a car, return it and get all your money back.

WOW!
No penalty for returning it early if you lose your job is what the text says...
Plus, in this economy, I'd rather keep my job than get out of the car payment...

I'm willing to bet that they're going to sell a ton of cars this year, especially the Genesis. 5 years ago I would've said that I'd never own a Hyundai, I honestly can't say that today.

Did you really think they would give you back 11 payments? ....tax+licence, fees, etc.

Hey you can always be hopeful. Besides, I hope you realize that was a joke. I'd rather ride a mule than a Hyundai.

You are entitled to your opinion, but my wife drives a Veracruz and I think it's a great car and certainly serves it's purpose. Not all cars are meant to be enthusiasts vehicles, some are designed to be reliable people movers.

Hyundai has come along way from the exploding Pony days. The quality is on par if not greater than most manufacturers today. Combine the quality with the warranty and now this new program and you have a pretty reliable car.

Lol That's because the fuel prices are down now. But I agree with you about not every car is an enthusiast car for sure. When I mentioned about me driving one, it's a different scenario because I am into an enthusiast car and I have no wife, kids. Most people need cars for just that, being cars, to go from point A to point B.

I've been unemployed since August, something like this for my car might tempt the key outta my hand...

It's interesting, still dunno if I'd head to Hyundai or not, but I know that if the economy stays in the crapper I'll be getting rid of the BMW and getting a Volvo C30, GTI, etc...

And mules are the pinnacle of sports automotive technology.

^ A for effort .. that's about all I can say. Looks to me like the roof line of the G35/7 coupe. Those grills are weak.
