Hyundai Elantra Is Top Selling Car in Canada

Leave a reply

In December, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. flew a bunch of automotive journalists to San Diego to test out the Hyundai Elantra. Steve Kelleher, Hyundai Canada’s chief executive told the journalists that he predicted that the Hyundai Elantra will be the best selling car in Canada in 2011. While such a confident claim isn’t unique among workers at their own car company, what is unique however is that (so far at least) what Steve Kelleher predicted has come true.

When the industry’s January sales figures arrived earlier this month–pronouncing Elantra as the best selling vehicle, of any type, in Canada–Mr. Kelleher admitted he was tempted to send the group of journalists an “I told you so” note.” (http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Hyundai+gobble+market+share/4320281/story.html)

Though I doubt Mr. Kelleher actually sent the automotive reporters an “I told you so” note, the fact that Kelleher’s prediction came true bespeaks to the quality of the Hyundai Elantra. Getting not only mostly positive, but stellar reviews, it’s easy to see what the Hyundai Elantra is selling so well.

Hyundai i40 Making Its Debut

Leave a reply

The i40 is the first large family car where Hyundai specifically attracted the European market. The Hyundai i40 has some cool new features, such as: a heated steering wheel, heated and reclining available for both the front and back seats, and a “de-mist system” which automatically spots and removes mist located on the windshield.

“The i40 also demonstrates the advances Hyundai is making towards being a leader in eco-technology. The 1.7 litre diesel engine emits 113 g/km CO2 just beating other manufacturers to the best-in-class figure. As a comparison the Ford Mondeo 1.6 DV6 TDCi achieves 114 g/km, the VW Passat 1.6 TDI Blue motion achieves 114 g/km and the Peugeot 508 1.6 e-HDi saloon achieves 115 g/km.” (http://www.girlracer.co.uk/motorsport/anna-livesey/8711-hyundai-i40-to-star-at-geneva-but-will-the-veloster-steal-its-thunder.html)

The i40 also comes with a five year warranty which means five years of health checks for the car, five years of unlimited mileage warranty and five years of roadside assistance.

The i40 is one of the best environmentally friendly cars. The i40 also has a sporty sleek look, uses a lot of miles per gallon, and uses the best in car technology at an affordable price.

2012 Hyundai Veloster

Leave a reply

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is a unique type of car. The Hyundai Veloster comes with a third door on the right side of the car, adding more room and an unusual style to the car. The Hyundai Veloster has the smallest Hyundai engine. What makes the Hyundai Veloster stand out are all the electronic features it has, such as:

A standard seven-inch multi-function touch-screen display with Pandora internet radio capability,
Gracenote display technology with voice recognition,
Virtual CD downloading,
AVI and mpeg video playback via USB,
video game console connectivity with a 115-volt outlet,
and Bluetooth hands-free phone system with voice recognition.

The Hyundai Veloster also has Blue Link functions such as, an automatic crash notification and assistance, emergency assistance and roadside assistance. Also with Blue Link, one can lock and unlock the car doors through just a telephone number. One can also use a social networking site to tell people where the Hyundai Veloster is located.

What is really cool for parents (though not for their children) is that Blue Link can inform the car owner when the Hyundai Veloster leaves a certain area and at what time, so not only can sometime find out if their car is gone, they can know what time it was gone (which can let parents know how late their child is up), and if the person driving the car was going faster than the preset speed. Who knew that your car is able to inform you that your kid didn’t listen to you.

With all these cool features, come 2012, you know what car you need to buy (hint: it starts with the letter V).

Didn’t Your Mother Teach You Not to Steal Food Stamps

Leave a reply

Blue Bay store owners are stealing from the starving and poor by only giving them half the value of what food stamps are worth. One wonders either how desperate or low these store owners have to be to do such things. “You can judge a society by how they treat their weak,” the philosopher, Voltaire famously quipped, and it seems that in the county of Blue Bay this is exactly what they are doing.

“Customer care” seems to be ignored when the poor and vulnerable are taken advantage of. The Liberal state of Massachusetts is one of the very few states that don’t penalize people for selling food stamps. Because local authorities don’t persecute food stamp traffickers, state officials don’t know how prevalent this theft and exploitation is.

Because there is no penalty for store owners not giving the full value of food stamps, they can steal and nothing with happen to them (well, legally anyway).

One wonders what people’s thoughts are on this. Is this type of theft bad because theft is always bad and the fact that in this case there is no retribution seems like law makers don’t care? Is not giving the full value of food stamps bad because the people who are being exploited are poor? Would the person reading this be just as fumed at this abhorrence irrespective of whom this happens too or are tears only reserved for the poor?

When reading this article, I couldn’t help thinking of Robin Hood, who I never admired. Stealing is bad, irrespective of how much and who the victim is. Stealing from the rich and giving from the poor doesn’t justify the act of theft. Feeling this way I was always a bit peeved that Robin Hood was viewed as a hero. I understand that stealing from the poor is worse since they have more to lose (ok, well of course not tangibly), but why does the result of charity justify the means of stealing? I would love to hear your responses on this. What do you think about the case and my tangent? Do you find stealing from the rich justified if it goes to the poor? Does the stealing of food stamps bother you and make you angry, while sympathetic to the poor? Would your feelings be the same if an article was written about how real estate owners are taking advantage of millionaires by giving them only half the value of their palatial home while the government sits by and does nothing to prosecute these people?

Congratulations on Monson Defeating Southwick and Belchertown Basketball Players Defeating Pioneer Christians

Leave a reply

Gary Rome Hyundai extols Monson on beating Southwick in basketball (no offense Southwick). Sean Peyman and Zach West led the Mustangs to their fourth win in five games. Both Peyman and West scored three 3-pointers and scored 18 points each for Monson.

In other news, Belchertown (we didn’t pick the name) defeats the Pioneer Christians. The Orioles scored an easy victory against the Eagles, with Pat Gooden scoring 19 points for the Orioles.
