A new study implying that legalizing marijuana could cause more car crashes, more news on Hyundai and Kia fire reports, VW’s boss says the future of Germany’s auto industry could be bleak, and much more. This is The Morning Shift for October 18, 2018.
Hyundai isn’t really known as a flashy performance brand in the U.S. quite yet, through it is working hard with the new performance Hyundai Veloster N. That Veloster is based on Europe’s Hyundai i30 N hatchback, and now it’s in Fastback form.
Hyundai, it seems, is serious about taking on the Germans with the new 2019 Genesis G70 sport sedan. So much so that’s actually priced identically to the current BMW 3 Series. But there’s a catch that makes it an even better deal.
Self-driving technology in a race to protect itself from legal battles, automakers that just can’t quite grasp how and where to sell their cars, CEOs in jail, eco-friendly semi trucks and heirs to the automaker thrones. All of this and more in The Morning Shift for Friday, Sept. 14, 2018.
For those of you who are deeply emotionally affected by horrible car design ideas, I’m sorry you have to see this Hyundai Santa Fe Cabriolet. I know if I could unsee it, I would.
Hyundai’s finally getting into the performance game with its N division, poaching German engineers to make its good cars even faster. Sadly though, our market still doesn’t get all the cool hatches like the i30 N that’s available in Europe. Now a recent filing shows that our version of the i30, which we get as the…
Ford’s credit rating tumbles, Hyundai’s not selling enough cars in China, and Elon Musk may be facing a lawsuit soon—this and more on The Morning Shift for Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018.
Elon Musk is tweeting, Hyundai is bringing the fun, and McLaren has electrification plans. This is The Morning Shift.
I think it can actually cause you some brain damage if you spend too long trying to picture a Hyundai Veracruz. The primate brain simply isn’t capable of performing such an act, but it almost can, so the brain’s vision and car-identification centers can overwork themselves to such a degree that they can cause a stroke…
Concern about the risk for Hyundai and Kia vehicles to catch fire has spread recently, with no official recall yet. One Virginia woman wants to hurry that process along, since she said she’s still on the hook for payments on her 2012 Kia Soul that burned to a skeleton of its former self earlier this month.
Alright, Hyundai. We need to talk about this “Iron Man Edition” of the Kona crossover real quick. First, Iron Man wouldn’t let one of his farts be transported five feet in a budget crossover with well under 200 horsepower, let alone put his face all over one. Second, refer back to the first point. It’s convincing…
Genesis, Hyundai’s new luxury brand, recently launched the third member of its lineup, the 2019 Genesis G70 luxury sports sedan. It’s a wonderful car, but its presence orients Genesis’ current trajectory eerily in the direction of Cadillac’s: heavy on sedans and too light on the SUVs and crossovers that everyone is…

While our world slowly descends into a fiery hellscape, at least new vehicle quality is up. There’s a silver lining to everything. The 2018 JD Initial Quality rankings are out and the highest ranked brands are all Korean this time.
Yep, you read the headline right. Your readings comprehension skills are still fantastic, as always. The Hyundai logo, that stylized H contained by a car-badge-ubiquitous oval, is actually based on a somewhat strange image of two men shaking hands. I asked Hyundai; they confirmed it.
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo updates the weird three-door front-wheel drive hatchback, pouring on even more stylish flourish over the first generation inside and out, and laying the groundwork for the upcoming even-hotter Veloster N.
Hyundai didn’t plan too far ahead when it came to dealerships for its Genesis luxury brand, but it’s looking way into the future on something much more important: holograms in cars. Holograms? Holograms. Holograms, like a wispy version of your significant other, sitting in a passenger seat next to you.
The big selling point for modern Hyundais are their impressive warranties, especially the 10-year, 100,000 mile powertrain one. But last month, the Federal Trade Commission warned the company that its warranty may be illegal because it appears to void out if owners don’t use Hyundai’s own parts.
After initially restricting the Genesis luxury brand to only a select number of dealers, Hyundai came to the revelation that more distribution leads to better sales and has decided that now Genesis models can be sold to through any Hyundai dealer.
