4 cars to choose from ALL with 40 MPG.

Happy (Hyundai) Monday, have I got great news for you. Just like you, Ben and I will probably be looking for a new car this summer, he has an old non-Hyundai that has A LOT of miles on it and a wildly stubborn check engine light. Sound familiar? The cool thing is that Hyundai, this summer, will have a [drumroll please] total of four cars to choose from, all with 40 MPG or better. Wow, way to go. Here's what you get to choose from:

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster - to hit showroom floors this summer!

The 2012 Hyundai Accent, also coming this summer, perfect for your compact college student or top dog commuter that will be able to bank from the extra mileage. Saving for success is key.

Oh Jeez, the Sonata Hybrid. This one is a quiet prowler on the roads saving you trips to the gas tank but taking you to the bank. As one of the most affordable Hybrids out there, we are thinking of YOU.

And this little beauty: the 2011 Elantra. I don't think I have enough time or space to boast about this car. It is nearly perfect. So much space in this car with all 4 heated seats. The gas mileage is not the only impressive part.

To add to our awards & accolades list the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recognized Sonata & Hyundai on its 2011 Greener Choices List and the Hyundai Elantra is on it's Environmentally Friendly Vehicles list.

Luxury wrapped in Value. how flattering!

Go ahead, guess what he was writing about! You got it, Hyundai. And although this author is certainly writing about Hyundai Australia, America is saying the same thing. If you are reading this from your Hyundai (shame on you, focus on the road), Congratulations! If you are reading this from your home or your work where your Hyundai is parked outside, way to be. Although I currently have the flu, I can still hold my head high because I am working my Hyundai Sonata on the road and supporting one of the best carmakers out there.

Sonata Wagon expected in Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your savings accounts (at motozuma)

This car is super sweet!

Yes, this car may or may not come out in the US. It's true. But it is beautiful! Start a petition or something. It's hitting Europe soon, based on sales they will see if it makes it "stateside." Hopefully, you, me and everyone else will be dropping our kids off to school and going golfing with this beauty. Keep your fingers crossed, say your prayers and maybe just maybe it will be in our showroom in...well I don't know when.

Happy 25th Birthday Hyundai USA!

Happy Birthday Hyundai USA!

It just so happens that this year myself and many of my close friends...and now Hyundai USA hit the 1/4 Century mark. Congratulations to us.

Read the 25th Birthday Press Release!

Get this, not only does Hyundai work to promote and sell their award winning, fuel efficient, safety test approved cars, but they also are helping fight cancer. Stop it. I just can't take all the gushy feelings.

"Hyundai's pursuits are not limited to the automobile. Hyundai Hope on Wheels is the united effort of Hyundai Motor America and its more than 800 dealers across the U.S. to help children fight cancer. We are dedicated to raising awareness about childhood cancer, celebrating the hope of the brave children battling the disease and finding a cure through our support of the best pediatric cancer researchers in the country. A portion of every Hyundai sold goes directly to this fight and more than $23 million have been donated since 1998."

Go Hyundai! Here's to hoping this car is in our future? I meant to write a question mark.

Hyundai Sonata Named a Best Car for Commuters by Forbes

Forbes Claims, “More than 42 million Americans spend at least 30 minutes in the car on their morning commutes. Seven million spend over an hour,” said Forbes auto reporter, Hannah Elliot. “For that kind of time spent in traffic, it pays to have a reliable car: something spacious enough for comfort, small enough to get good gas mileage and durable enough to withstand the occasional fender-bender. This year mid-size sedans like the $19,395 Hyundai Sonata are best for surviving the slog.”

Think about it, what do you want to be rolling into your parking space at work in? If I have to spend over an hour in my car each day, I something nice [& probably red].

Stylish & Fuel Efficient Cars Just Cost Less

Daily Finance declares "Hyundai's U.S. Sales Soar thanks to stylish, fuel efficient designs."

Last year was a rough year for car sales. But not for Hyundai. Hyundai's sales grew 24% last year and sold 540,000 units. Congratulations & Thanks to those who made this possible. Hyundai has had some rough years, but just as the child who was severly awkward in middle school grew up to be relatable so Hyundai has learned from their own trials & tribulations.

Not only this, but also Hyundai is coming out with 6 new cars in 3 years, they are creating their own steel to make lighter cars that reach government MPG requirements and they just sell really nice, well priced cars.

Eckert Hyundai is making it's own advances, too! We are currently located in a new building, only one year old, which allows us to hold more cars, service more cars and help you find the perfect car to stylize your driveway!

One of the Top 10 Coolest Cars under $18K

Remember mom's station wagon?

Revamped: Hyundai Elantra Touring. Heard of it? With all of the hype about the new Elantra & Sonata, it seems we have forgotten one of the more sensible (and by sensible I mean cool) cars today. Kelley Blue Book named this car one of the Top 10 Coolest Cars under $18,000!

Not just my review? Click here for Truthaboutcars.com's review.

Ok, so first off this car made me nostalgic for the days of riding in the very back seat of my mom's Oldsmobile Station wagon where the back seat faced out and you could wave at other cars. Lots of happy memories there.

The second thing I noticed? The space! The space was incredible! It seemed as though there was an echo. I personally would love to be driving an SUV right now, with what seems like the endless amount of stuff my husband and I lug around town, but it's just not practical. This car is practical. Practically shouting, "take me home!"

So many storage compartments and you better believe that the fully loaded Elantra Touring is still under $20,000. You can take it home. And with a hatchback you could take your whole neighborhood home, too.

Check out Eckert Hyundai's selection of Elantra Tourings, I think you'll be surprised & delighted with the space, quality and price of this one!
