Another happy customer!

"I just purchased my new 2012 Sonata Hybrid with ultimate package from AutoMax, Norman.
I went all the way from Dallas to Oklahoma to pick up this vehicle since they were
the only dealer in this region had my vehicle with the package and color I wanted.
When I called them it was around 8pm, talked to Tony and got the fair price, No
nonsense talk, no back and forth bargaining, at around 8:15pm deal is over. Since I
had an idea about the pricing of this car from all Dallas local dealers,
it was easy decision for me. I told them I am picking it up next day.

Tim and Hiliary sent me photos of the car and sticker info to avoid any confusions.
Since I work for Airlines, I flew to Oklahoma, Sales person Tim Tae (Xong Tae) picked
me up from the airport, he was excellent in taking care of my whole visit and
going over the car features and answering all my queries. He kept everything ready
before my visit, I never thought my purchase experience will go this smooth and
I was very happy to drive back to Dallas with the car I wanted.

One more thing made me happy was, I got 47.2/MPG average in this car while driving
back to Dallas about 177 miles from Norman. The whole dealership atmosphere was very
good; I would strongly recommend this to anyone.

Thanks to Tim, Tony and Hiliary for making my 30k purchase happy and hassle free."  -pmm137

Thanks for the great review, Cynthia!

"My husband and I bought a new Accent from San Lopez on April 16th. She is such a helpful and knowledgeable person. It was a pleasure buying a car from San. She treated us like a family member and made sure all of our needs were met during the sales process. The follow up after our purchase was a surprise since we have never had a dealership do this. We have received notes in the mail, but never a call or an email to make sure we were happy with the purchase of our new car and to ask if we had any questions. We will be recommending friends and family to San Lopez and this excellent dealership." -Cynthia

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra has been named one of the 10 Best Green Cars for 2012 by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com for the second consecutive year!

COSTA MESA, Calif., April 18, 2012 – The 2012 Hyundai Elantra has been named one of the 10 Best Green Cars for 2012 by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com for the second consecutive year. In this annual list, especially timely this year due to rising gas prices and just in time for Earth Day 2012, the kbb.com editors present a variety of fuel-efficient vehicles worthy of buyers’ consideration.

“The elusive 40 mpg mark is hit and miss for non-hybrid cars, but for the 2012 Hyundai Elantra it's an easy target,” said kbb.com editors. “The Elantra obtains 40 highway mpg in all trim levels thanks to its fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine, all while looking good in its wavy sheet metal and offering value with its low entry price.”

Standout fuel efficiency alone is not enough to win a spot on kbb.com’s annual 10 Best Green Cars list. Kbb.com’s editors also weighed factors like value, features and comfort in putting together this year’s collection of exceptional efficiency experts.

“With its 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway standard fuel economy rating, Elantra is a perfect vehicle for consumers looking for an affordable solution to rising gas prices,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Elantra is one of the vehicles at the core of Hyundai’s fuel economy strategy. In the first quarter of 2012, 39 percent of all Hyundai vehicles sold achieved 40 mpg on the highway thanks in large part to Elantra’s continued success.”

All Elantra models achieve the milestone 40 MPG highway fuel economy rating, along with the Accent, Sonata Hybrid and the Veloster. The 2012 North American Car of the Year Elantra adds an ActiveECO System for 2012 that modifies engine and transmission control to smooth out throttle response and increase real-world fuel economy by up to seven percent.

Another great review from a happy customer!

Paulette was awesome. As a female working and living in a man's world, I was so glad to find a female selling cars, I went straight to her and from the time I showed up on the lot, she took care of me. She spent along time trying to help me find what I needed and really worked hard to do so. She knew what range price wise I was looking at and she took it from there. It made it so much easier having felt so comfortable as a female purchasing a car. Paulette and Tony both were of great help and extremely helpful. I appreciated her making the experience as easy and painless as possible. If you are a female and want to buy a car but feel strong armed and pushed in past car experiences by a man-- go to Paulette! She will take care of you as if you are her own kid and its her money she is spending.

Thanks! JnP

"I've been trying to find a reliable mechanic for a few years. Finally, I took it to Automax Hyundai of Norman and I can't tell you what an amazing experience I had. Everyone was helpful and polite. They provided a courtesy ride back to my house. They also provided a rental car when mine was going to be there for a few days. There was no hassle and everyone was so nice. I'm always interested in knowing what parts are and how they work. I don't enjoy it when I ask a mechanic, "what is that part for and what exactly is going wrong" and they blow me off and act like I wouldn't understand. I've had several mechanics do that. However, the guys in the service center actually SAT DOWN with me and explained everything! They answered all my questions in detail. I had an issue with my transmission (nothing huge). The car was still under warranty and they didn't hassle me at all about it; didn't try to say that I caused the problem or anything. The only issue I had was I feel some of the prices, for example a transmission flush, are too high. I'm only a college student so when I find another service center charging $100 less for a flush, I'm going to take it. However, for actual repair work and part replacement, I'm not planning on going anywhere else. Definitely recommend them!" - foxy0587

Hyundai Hope On Wheels Celebrates the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's With a Performance by the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra

Hyundai_hope_on_wheels_02

Event marks Hyundai's second installment of a $10 million grant committed in 2011 to CHOC Children's

Hyundai Motor America and its nonprofit pediatric cancer organization, Hyundai Hope On Wheels®, will present CHOC Children's with the second installment of a $10 million gift committed in 2011. To commemorate this event for the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's, Hope On Wheels will host its signature Handprint Ceremony with Orange County-area children battling pediatric cancer. The ceremony will feature a special performance by the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, Calif. on Tuesday, April 17, led by world-renowned Maestro Myung-Whun Chung.

Hope On Wheels' second installment of $2 million to CHOC Children's is part of a 5-year, $10 million grant donation - the largest corporate gift in CHOC Children's history. Funds from Hope On Wheels are being used for groundbreaking pediatric cancer research at the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's, using the latest advances in genomic medicine to provide more effective, individualized treatment for children afflicted with this disease.

"As we continue to strengthen our longstanding relationship with CHOC Children's, one of the best children's hospitals in the nation, we look forward to seeing results in the coming years," said John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "Funding innovative research programs that will have a real impact on fighting this deadly disease is our mission at Hyundai, and our partnership with CHOC Children's is critical in that goal."

"I am really excited to see what the data is going to reveal," said Dr. Sender, Director, Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's. "We are now on our way to realizing the initial goal of the Hyundai Cancer Institute Genomic Research Program - providing pediatric oncologists with information that will allow them to make better decisions about targeted, precision therapy in patients with refractory or recurrent cancer."

To celebrate the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's, Hope On Wheels will be joined by families, staff and doctors from the hospital, as well as community leaders and Hyundai executives at the Samueli Theater for a special performance by the Seoul Philharmonic, Korea's oldest and most prominent orchestra, and a signature Hope On Wheels Handprint Ceremony. This Handprint Ceremony will capture the colorful handprints of the brave children receiving pediatric cancer treatment at CHOC Children's as a symbol of hope for all the children battling this disease nationwide. Every Handprint Ceremony celebrates the courageous lives of the children faced with cancer and brings our community of supporters together.

In 2012, Hope On Wheels will donate an additional $12 million to children's hospitals nationwide for pediatric cancer research through its signature Hyundai Scholar Grant and Hyundai Hope Grant awards.

By the end of 2012, Hope On Wheels will surpass $57 million in total donations to childhood cancer research since the program began 14 years ago. This level of funding places Hyundai among the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the nation.

Additional activities for 2012 will include a national grant donation tour, nationwide fund-raising 5K race series, an online social media campaign and a partnership with the Childhood Cancer Congressional Caucus. For the third consecutive year, during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, Hope On Wheels will conduct a comprehensive campaign to raise greater awareness about pediatric cancer and the need to fund critical research to find a cure.

With every new vehicle sold in the U.S., Hyundai customers join Hyundai and its dealers in funding important life-saving research. For more information about the Hyundai Cancer Institute, or to learn more about Hyundai Hope On Wheels, visit www.HyundaiHopeOnWheels.org .

"The process was very quick and easy- even with a tornado coming through town! They gave us a very fair price for our trade and the finance process was quick and easy. We LOVE the new Hyundai Veloster!! Rick Dunn showed us all the bells and whistles and was very helpful and nice and not at all pushy throughout the process! Looking forward to a continued relationship through service for our new Hyundai. I've always been a Honda and Toyota owner, so I am looking forward to being a Hyundai owner. I will refer friends and family to AutoMax Norman. Thank You!!" - Erin and Robert W.

"The rating I gave is because this was the best car buying experience I have ever had.

Hyundai sets goal to break record for pediatric cancer research funding

Hyundai’s Hope on Wheels non-profit organization has set a goal to surpass $57 million in donations for pediatric cancer research this year, placing Hyundai as a leading fundraiser for the cause in the nation.

Throughout the year, Hyundai will host a national grant donation tour, a nationwide 5k race series, an online social media campaign and a partnership with the Childhood Cancer Congressional Caucus, with a special comprehensive campaign during September’s National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

This year’s program selected 13-year-old C.J. George as the National Youth Ambassador to travel the country to share his battle with cancer at Hope on Wheel events.

“We see Hope On Wheels as a critical part of our mission at Hyundai,” said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. “Pediatric cancer takes far too many young lives and impacts far too many families. We are proud to work with our Hyundai dealers to fund research to end this disease.”

The company plans to donate $12 million to children's hospitals nationwide through its signature Hyundai Scholar Grant and Hyundai Hope Grant awards. Scholar grants of $75,000 will be awarded to 41 principal investigators pursuing innovative research early in their careers and 36 other Hope Grants of $250,000 will be given to children’s hospitals across the country.

Winners will be announced at a Handprint Ceremony in September where children will cover a Hyundai Tucson with their handprints to commemorate their battles with cancer.

“Every 36 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. Through research, 80 percent of those cancers can be cured, but that's just not good enough,” said Gary Micallef of the Hope On Wheels Board of Directors. “The Hyundai dealers across America proudly join in this fight.  This is one we must win for our children, our communities, and our future.”

Way to go, AutoMax Hyundai-Norman team!

"I really enjoyed purchasing my new vehicle from Auto Max. They were so friendly and helpful. My salesman, Steve Griffith was very knowledgeable about every part of the vehicle and was able to show me all the features in a way that even a 64-year old woman could understand. Before coming to AutoMax I wasn't totally sold on buying a new vehicle, but after visiting with Steve there was no question. And, most importantly, I felt absolutely no pressure; nor did I find "trapped". So, yes I would definitely recommend AutoMax of Norman and Steven Griffith." -jparsley

New Hyundai owners are talking about their cars—in the Booth.

Another great review from a happy customer!

"I would most certainly recommend AutoMax in Norman, OK. Their employees that I dealt with were outstanding. I was a "dyed in the wool" Nissan customer when I went to this dealership to check out their automobiles and their prices and I left there very, very impressed! I applaud my salesman, Rick Dunn, for being so patient, caring, kind, and helpful. We spent hours with him last Saturday completing our Hyundai purchase and left feeling like we had made a new friend. Thank all of you for kindness." -jimmary@att.net

Hyundai Grass Roots Movement

Our most powerful engine is our spirit.

What started in 1998 as a grass-roots effort to raise money for a local New England pediatric cancer institute has grown into a powerful nation-wide charity called Hope on Wheels.

Every time a new Hyundai is sold, a donation is made to help kids fight cancer. With over 800 dealerships those numbers add up quickly. In fact, we're so committed to helping kids fight cancer that we won't stop until we find a cure.

Go to http://www.hyundaiusa.com/new-thinking/csr.aspx/ to donate.
