We purchased our last 4 automobiles from Speck Hyundai
Speck has an excellent shop as well! They maintain all my automobiles and I have never felt take advantage of. They will do what is asked will be honest and upfront about that you should expect with further maitenance so there is not that "surprise expense" every time they call. If I ever have an emergency with one of my vehicles Speck will get me into their shop ASAP. I was on my way to Seattle once and found that my wiper motor was not working. I was in a hurry and started to panic knowing how important wipers are in Seattle. I called the shop at Speck Hyundai and Charley said get it over there and he'd take care of it. I was on the road within an hour! These are just a few of the reasons that Deanne and I are happy clients of Speck Hyundai and we refer all our friends with great results."

New 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS ARRIVED!
The newly remodeled 2011 Hyundai Sonata has arrived, and everyone is talking about it. 4 door coupe? The new Sonata has safety, convenience, and performance all wrapped up into one un-sedan-like design.
2011 HYUNDAI SONATA NAMED "TOP SAFETY PICK" BY IIHS
This award is only given to those vehicles that do a superior job protecting people in front, side, rear and rollover crashes. A car's ability to handle itself in these crashes is determined by how many "GOOD" ratings it receives in each of the IIHS tests. Additionally, the vehicle must have electronic stability control readily available as an option.
The Sonata also features a state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) including Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Sonata features six airbags-including dual front, front seat-mounted side-impact, and front and rear side curtain airbags-along with active front-seat head restraints.
While past Hyundai models, such as the Genesis, have been named IIHS "Top Safety Picks," the standards are higher than ever for 2010, with a roof strength test added to the qualifications. According to the new guidelines, roofs must be more than double the strength of current federal requirements in order to better maintain vehicle integrity in the event of a rollover accident.
Because this roof strength test is so demanding, many of the vehicles that had previously been named "Top Safety Picks" were dropped from the list in 2010. From the 2011 Sonata's inception, Hyundai engineers carefully considered the importance of roof strength and designed the newest edition to pass this high hurdle set by the IIHS.
The other IIHS "Top Safety Pick" standards are stringent as well - the institute's frontal crashworthiness evaluations are based on results of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. Each vehicle's overall evaluation is based on measurements of intrusion into the occupant compartment, injury measures recorded on a dummy representing a 50th percentile male in the driver seat, and analysis of slow-motion film to assess how well the restraint system controlled dummy movement during the test.
Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck by a barrier moving at 31 mph. The barrier represents the front end of a pickup or SUV. Ratings reflect injury measures recorded on two instrumented dummies representing an average-sized woman, assessment of head protection countermeasures, and the vehicle's structural performance during the impact.
Rear crash protection is rated according to a two-step procedure. Starting points for the ratings are measurements of head restraint geometry - the height of a restraint and its horizontal distance behind the back of the head of an average-size man. Seat/head restraints with good or acceptable geometry are tested dynamically using a dummy that measures forces on the neck. This test simulates a collision in which a stationary vehicle is struck in the rear at 20 mph.
HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE
Motor Trend says "the Genesis Coupe represents, in some ways, the best of both worlds. It is quick and fun to drive. It's easy on the eyes and on the wallet."

Hyundai "Rising Star" and Auto Pacific Awards
Would
you recommend your car to a friend? Of course, we'd encourage you to conduct
more thorough research before investing tens of thousands in a new car - we can
even recommend a good website - but millions of Americans do ask friends,
neighbors and co-workers "how do you like your new car?" when
considering purchase. Auto industry research firm Auto Pacific did the same,
asking 25,000 new car owners whether they were satisfied with their recent
purchase. The result?
In a press release, the company write, "... Hyundai won the "Rising Star" award for the biggest jump, leaping over 11 other brands to sit in the top 5 for the first time."
The results come from a survey that, according to Auto Pacific, considers "48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience."

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., January 11, 2009 ? DETROIT, 01/11/2009
After months of expert test-drives, critical acclaim and independent awards, the
Hyundai Genesis took
top honors in the most exclusive award in North America when it was named 2009
North American Car of the Year.
A jury of 50 independent automotive journalists evaluated all the new cars introduced last year and chose the 2009 Hyundai Genesis as the best new model. The award was announced at a news conference at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
?Genesis represents everything we?ve learned, so far, about engineering great automobiles ? and we?re delighted that the judges have recognized the good work of our R&D teams,? said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America acting president and chief executive officer. ?And we?re not stopping here?Genesis will share company in Hyundai showrooms this spring with its rear-wheel drive platform-mate, the Genesis Coupe.?
This year the jurors considered more than 50 new vehicles before selecting the top three cars and top three trucks. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI and Ford Flex were the other finalists.
The North American Car of the Year award is decided by a jury of 50
independent, full-time automotive journalists from the United States and Canada.
This is the 16th year of the awards, which were inspired by the prestigious
European ?Car of the Year.? They are administered by an organizing committee and
are funded exclusively with dues paid by the jurors. Jurors judge the cars on a
number of factors including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver
satisfaction and value for the dollar.
