"Blue Oval Gang, Hyundai NACTOY Winners at Detroit"
Even though we called off our trip because of the weather (no problem with vehicles...but when you drive through Lake Erie Lake Effect snow...one has to be prudent), we'll comment on the 2009 North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards presented at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Hyundai has made it full circle from the low price low quality vehicles they once built--to a world class powerful sedan. The Genesis is a V8 powered luxury car. There's a market for high end vehicles, and Hyundai has the quality and resources to compete in this segment of the auto market--for an attractive price--be assured we will get to drive one for our Radio-Road-Test program in the near future.
Ford needs some good news...and winning the North American Truck of the Year brings a spring to the step in Dearborn World Headquarters. The F-150 is America's best selling truck. That brings cash to Ford--a lot of it. So one makes changes incrementally--or so one would think. Again, it's another vehicle we'll get to wring out in the near future.
