Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers

Hyundai Automotive realizes that these are tough times for everybody. Instead of talking about solutions, though, officials at Hyundai Automotive recently released plans to offer a vehicle return program for car owners who fall on hard times.

In conjunction with Walkaway USA, Hyundai Automotive is offering a unique form of financial protection dubbed the “Hyundai Assurance Program.” As of January 2, Hyundai buyers will have the option of returning their vehicle within 12 months of purchasing it. The Hyundai vehicles that will qualify for the program are the new ones that are leased or financed at participating dealers.

“In this uncertain economy,” said John Krafcik, acting president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America, “we are looking for ways to reassure shoppers that Hyundai still represents the best value in the auto industry.” He went on to say that the automaker’s agreement with Walkaway “allows us to offer a unique form of financial protection in all 50 states for the first time by an automaker.”

Isn’t it refreshing to know that in the midst of billions of dollars of handouts to domestic automakers with no protection for buyers, Hyundai Automotive has stepped up to help? Visit your Pottstown area Hyundai dealer today and receive peace of mind with a Hyundai car.

Your Allentown auto dealers want to applaud the new 311 service number that Philadelphia recently instituted. The new call center opened on Wednesday and it’s the first time the city has offered a “free phone number that residents, businesses and visitors can dial 24 hours a day to get information about a wide array of city services.”

When callers dial 311, they are connected to an operator that takes their call and directs it to a department in the local government that can answer their questions.

“311 will fundamentally change the way Philadelphians interact with the city government,” said the city’s mayor. “[It] will streamline customer service…it will serve as a centralized access point for city government, making it easier for citizens to navigate city services.”

Philadelphians are still asked to call 911 for emergency services. The 311 number is used only for non-emergency services and questions.

Of course, if you have any questions about cars, your Allentown auto dealers are always around to answer your questions. You can visit any Doylestown area Hyundai dealer for service questions, inquiries about new and used cars in the inventory and even financing tips. Check one out today!

The new Genesis, presented by Hyundai Automotive, is going to make two appearances on your television screen during the 2009 Super Bowl.

The automaker has purchased two TV spots for the 2010 coupe – one spot for each half. The spots are going to run for 30 seconds and they will “feature Formula-D champion Rhys Millen opening it up on a 12-turn road course, allowing Hyundai to position the sports coupe as a turbocharged performance machine.”

The Genesis coupe is Hyundai Automotive’s “most dynamic performance car ever,” said Joel Ewanick, the vice president of marketing for the automaker.

This isn’t Hyundai Automotive’s first dance, though. Last year, the automaker purchased two spots for the Genesis coupe, too. That was the first time Hyundai appeared in Super Bowl ads since 1989.

So far, Hyundai Automotive has sole more than 5,000 units of the Genesis coupe. Part of the reason is because of its performance and luxury. Another major part of its success is the base price. For about $32,000, buyers can experience a level of luxury and performance that is unheard of for that price. Fully-loaded models typically cost no more than $43,000. If this doesn’t make you want to visit your Doylestown area Hyundai dealer to check out a new Genesis, I don’t know what will.

Your Allentown auto dealers want to congratulate this year’s Penn State football team for making it to the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. This isn’t the first time the Nittany Lions have made it to the Rose Bowl, but that doesn’t make it any less sweet.

In 1923, Penn State’s football team had to take a five-day train ride to Pasadena, California when it made it to that year’s Rose Bowl. Along the way, they made time to visit some of the nation’s most spectacular sites, including the Grand Canyon. The also did some sightseeing in Hollywood and other parts of southern California. After the five-day trek, they checked into their luxurious Santa Monica hotel to get ready for the big game.

On game day, traffic was brutal. The players and coaches were late and arrived to the stadium after the kickoff. The USC coach was angry. They had a shouting match on the sidelines and took their verbal fight to the locker room.

Those things won’t happen this year. Teams travel to the games on planes these days and police escorts accompany the players and coaches to the stadium. But the Rose Bowl of 1923 was one for the record books. Who knows what’s going to happen this year?

If you’re in the area for the game, make some history yourself by visiting your Pottstown area Hyundai dealer for a new car. Make 2009 a year to remember by starting it off right. Your Allentown auto dealer is ready to make that happen.

Visit your local Hyundai dealer today and take advantage of one of these great bargains. Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to do something nice for yourself.

For years, Hyundai Automotive has created advertisements comparing its vehicles to some brands that consumers hold sacred. For instance, one ad compares the space on the inside of the Hyundai Azera with the inferior space in the BMW 750i. Another ad said the Hyundai Sonata has a longer warranty and costs less than the Toyota Camry.

Now, the tables have turned. General Motors has used Hyundai Automotive in one of its ads. That could only mean one thing: Hyundai Automotive has come into its own. When another company compares its product to your product, you know you have created something good. Hyundai Automotive joined the ranks of Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen, which is a good thing for the automaker because GM wouldn’t compare its products to Hyundai if the Korean automaker had a negative image. Why would an automaker compare their product to something completely inferior? It doesn’t make sense to compare apples to oranges.

Your Doylestown area Hyundai dealer is ready give you a good deal on a new or used model. Whether you’re looking for a new Sonata, Azera or any other Hyundai model, you can find what you need. Apparently, Hyundai Automotive is making a name for itself in the auto industry and it has the other automakers taking notice. You should take notice, too!

Everybody is looking for ways to save money these days. Who can blame them? With the uncertain economy and prices going up everywhere, it’s up to each individual to find ways to save a few bucks here and there. Your Allentown auto dealers recognize this. That’s why we want to offer a few ways to save money on your auto insurance.

1. Shop around. You might be surprised how much you can save simply by making some phone calls. I saved almost half on my auto insurance by doing this. Even if it doesn’t help, it doesn’t hurt to know that you have the lowest price available.
2. Add security devices to your vehicle. Your Allentown auto dealers can help you install anti-theft devices to your car to lower your premiums. Insurance companies like these devices because they create a lower liability.
3. Be realistic about your mileage. The fewer miles you drive on a weekly basis, the lower your premiums will be. However, do not lie about how much you drive. If the insurance company finds out your drive 30 miles to work each day instead of the three miles that you reported, there is a chance they will not cover you.

Keep these tips in mind when you visit your Pottstown area Hyundai dealer. You can save on your car insurance and use that money towards a new Hyundai!

Hyundai Automotive is known for taking risks in order to compete with the other major automakers. However, the new Genesis luxury model is one of the biggest risks that Hyundai Automotive has attempted. Luckily, analysts are saying it’s not much of a gamble.

The South Korean automaker has had plans to expand its lineup from mere “budget buggies” to something more luxurious and creative. Enter the 2009 Genesis. This luxury vehicle has an astounding starting price of $33,000, much lower than about every other luxury vehicle on the market today.

Hyundai Automotive spent more than $750 million developing the car and its new engine. The automaker hopes this will be a “halo” car, meaning that its “aura of prestige” will bring the reputation of the entire brand up to new heights. The company has even required some dealers to remodel their facility, ask their sales representatives to attend Genesis boot camp and launched a multi-million dollar campaign to bring attention to the new vehicle. All of this is in hopes that consumers will give the new Genesis a chance and at least take it for a test drive.

“This is a very ambitious company,” said John Casesa, a consultant with the auto industry. “They want to do in 10 years what it took Toyota and Honda 30 years to do.” Judging from the press and excitement, Hyundai is going to accomplish its goal. Check your Lansdale area Hyundai dealer for information on features, prices and release dates and reserve your Genesis today!

If you’ve had many memories of Christmas in Philadelphia and you want to relive those memories this season, your Allentown auto dealers encourage you to do so. Here are some things you and your family might enjoy to relive your childhood memories and create some new ones with your kids.

The Please Touch Museum is a place full of holiday decorations and attractions for the entire family. You can look into toymaker shops, sit in the once-mobile monorail that used to go around Wanamaker’s toy store and ride the Woodside Park carousel.

Macy’s is another fun place to visit during the Christmas season. The store offers a dazzling light show that follows the same patterns of Wanamaker’s first production in 1956. The store also has attractions like Dickens Village which allows visitors to step back in time to 1840s London. There are more than 100 figures to help you get the full experience as well as lighting effects, story boards, sound effects and much more to add to the experience.

While you’re in the area, why not visit a Pottstown area Hyundai dealer for a great deal on a new or certified car? I can’t think of a better holiday gift than that…can you?

Every once in awhile, something comes along that truly needs recognition. Your Allentown auto dealers want to recognize the Langosta Lounge and its owner – Marilyn Schlossbach – for its dedication to the area’s poor and less fortunate.

On Christmas Day this year, Schlossbach plans to close her Jersey Shore restaurant in order to provide free meals, toys and clothes to people who are in need. This is a commendable act since other restaurants in the area are busy taking reservations for expensive Christmas buffets and dinners. Schlossbach has teamed up with Asbury Park’s Trinity Church and friend Pat Sherman to make her restaurant a place that will give back to the community on a day when nobody should go hungry.

This isn’t the first time Schlossbach has done this, though. She did the same thing on Thanksgiving day this year and nearly 1,000 people showed up throughout the day for the dinner at Langosta Lounge. They play to have at least this many people for Christmas Day as financial times have gotten even more difficult in the last few weeks.

If you’re like to help out, Schlossbach could use some generous donations of hams, turkeys and desserts. You can also donate hats, gloves, toys and anything else that would help make someone’s Christmas extra special.

Your Lansdale area Hyundai dealer is also dedicated to giving back to its local community. Visit one today and see what you can do to help out!
