Awesome commercial, although I still disagree with pointing fun at the competition so blatantly. That simply provides free advertising to BMW, Benz and Lexus and implies they are the brands to beat, the standard-setters in the market.

That was pretty funny, but they totally ripped off another car company's commercial from awhile back. I don't recall which one, but it was the same exact concept. Anyone remember?

There's a mention of Benz in the #3 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 2009 Car of the Year commercial.

But you know what TRD means, Lexus/BMW/Merc are the current higher end badge/lux companies out there.

And TRD, I think most people already know they are the brands to beat but not that many know that Hyundai is doing it.

primecut, i think the concept has been done many times. I know motorola did one as well but Hyundai's is the best I've seen.

imo, unless all Hyundia models magically all of the sudden became top notch cars like the genesis, a hyundia is still just a hyundia

funny, the edityourown.com still isn't out yet, does that mean it still haven't been bought or something? it'll be funny if we can grab it first. lol

So, any word on when would the coupe come out and pricing etc? I'm interested.
And anybody know how to buy the kits and lips etc from the thread with the coupe modded in korea? those looked very nice.

that was funny as hell. hope people gets it and stop saying "hyoon-die"

anyway, the yellow is awful choice. yellow makes any decent looking coupe cheaper. i mean seriously who drives yellow unless it's a super car or vette? you don't see yellow G37's or bimmers. i absolutely hate it. they should've chosen red, gray, or blue.

Have you compared Hyundai's models to their competitors? I have. Accent/Yaris, Elantra/Corolla, Sonata/Camry. While I can't say one is better than the other, I was truly amazed at the quality of todays Hyundai's. They really do rank right up there with Toyota and Honda, for substantially less money.

The standards bearers are already etched into the consumers perceptions anyway. The commercial is saying that yes, even Hyundai can compete with them.

Yea.. Audi did the same thing. They just straight up had all 3 logos in the commercial. It was the A5 commercial.
