Lujack Hyundai

For the fourteenth year in a row, South Korean auto manufacturer Hyundai is launching its non-profit Hope on Wheels organization for a tour across the country to award grants totaling more than $3 million to 85 hospitals to aid in the fight against pediatric cancer. By the end of 2012, Hyundai expects to exceed $57 in total donations for the project, including over $10 million to support childhood cancer research at the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CA).

Would you rather live your life in a dull manner, or do you yearn to live brilliantly? South Korean auto manufacturer Hyundai is focused on drivers that prefer the latter option with its new worldwide "Live Brilliant" brand campaign. The goal of this campaign is to become the world's most beloved car company- not the largest. The campaign is part of the brand's new direction, "Modern Premium," which has a slogan of "New Thinking. New Possibilities." This direction was launched last year, but the new ad campaign will help it to realize its full potential.

All-electric vehicles are certainly impressive, but it will take time for technology and society to catch up with all of these vehicles and their corresponding technologies (such as charging stations, for example). For now, it seems the best option is to build vehicles that rely predominately on battery power, but that also use range-extending, gasoline-powered generators to back them up. This is the approach Hyundai has taken with its new Hyundai i-oniq concept, which recently premiered at the Geneva Auto Show. This concept blends a 1.0-liter three-cylinder, generator-like engine with a 107 horsepower electric motor.

Have you heard the expression, "Go Big. . . Or Go Home!"? Well, that's exactly what Japanese automaker Hyundai did this year with its Super Bowl ads. Hyundai had an amazing five advertisement spots this year. (Other automakers and manufacturers were satisfied with one or two 30-second spots). Of the advertisements, two were positioned during the pre-game celebrations, one was placed pre-kick, and two were aired during the game. Each witty commercial featured a distinct and unique message.

As Hyundai continues to rake in award after award, it is becoming increasingly hard to deny their dominance in the U.S. market. The popular Korean automaker recently fared quite well in J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) Study, proving, once again, that they're on the rise here in the United States.

You don't have to be an auto industry expert analyst to see Hyundai is growing by leaps and bounds. March's numbers alone have Hyundai outperforming all of their competitors for the first time ever. This upward growth isn't just a fluke, one time occurrence though. The Korean automaker's growth is, in fact, so aggressive that some industry experts forecast that they may become the world's third largest car maker, this…
