Hyundai Assurance Program Gets 'Kicked Up A Notch'- $3G's In Your Pocket NOW And You Can Return The Car In 6 Months!

Hmmm if I drive a Sonata for the rest of the summer then when I go back for my 4th year of engineering, does that count as losing your job?

Sorry, I was using spoken English, not written English. If you are going to be a grammar Nazi here you go.

If I drive a Sonata for the rest of the summer. Will going back to school count as losing my job?

They are giving you 3G's if you dont take the 3000 rebate. They are giving you the card and is paying you the 3G's in monthly installments.
Which is 500 dollars for 6 months which adds to 3000 dollars

Good marketing. That's what it is all about. Luring customers into confidence it smart. Good job Hyundai.
Here's GM's confidence ad: Buy and GM product and receive a free online broadcast of our bankruptcy proceedings. Help make history with GM as we circulate down the toilet. GM, buy with confidence. Advertisement not supported by the UAW.

Good marketing ? I dont know about that. They clearly are making a play for the customers tnat have risky credit scores or are susceptible to payment risks. What used to be domestic customers. While they will load it up on sales in the short term. it doesent do any wonders for their resale value, or long term brand value.
They are esentially eating the profit on the Sonata ( possibly for a loss ) in order to get market share. Is that that marlet share sustainable ? especially once the economy comes back ? that is another question.

Well I remember, when I first stumbled upon this site about 3-4 years ago, and the Buzz then surrounded the Ford Edge, Dodge Nitro, Pontiac G8, and VW R32 cars. No one cared about Fuel Economy then. At the same time everybody was laughing so much at Hyundai/KIA Products it made me sick. As a matter of fact, this and The Truth About Cars were the most anti-Hyundai Racist sites on the web.

Who is laughing now to the bank, and who's sales are not dropping like a stone, guys? Who was right in the beginning about the superior value propositons I advocate for? Who predicted that this Supersize Me, I have 92 Billion credit cards, I have a Big SUV that can fit 75 million people and get 1 MPG, and 94 million timeshares economy was going to collaspe?

Give me my props, please?

LOL, I was only joking when I said Hyundai's (and probably BMW) next incentive would be negative rate financing (they'll pay YOU interest to buy a car). This is pretty much it.

The Korean gov't must have gone ape when they found out they'd be subsidizing something like this.
