Philadelphia Park - The Hyundai "Drive Your Way" Tour

[vsolo]

Got this in my e-mail "You and a guest are invited to attend the Hyundai "Drive Your Way" Tour featuring the all-new 2006 Sonata — a no-charge driving event for you and other selected guests taking place at Philadelphia Park, June 18-19, 2005."

but I noticed you can register even if you did not get the e-mail. Check out

& if you register to drive the car , you can get a $ 50.00 certificate from Hyundai for Gas. I got a card last time I was at the Philly car show just for signing up to win a free gift..

hmm.... i had to do a double-take to notice that the green one was an Azera... I hope that doesn't hurt Hyundai in the long that it looks alot like the Sonata.... It sure is SEXY though.....

the Accent looks better than what I remember from the last pics....


the poor Elantra looks out of place there with the ghetto wheelcovers... everything else has alloys....

Thanks for the pictures. I had an intersesting them at the event. Talked to alot of the people who were there. Most were not 100% Hyundai people but they were honest. One guy told me he heard that Hyundai sells more cars than Mazda. Well I looked it up & heck he was right
http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/04/02/027938.html

they sell more than Maza & Mitsubishi.

One other thing, if there is ever an event like this it is worth going to. Free Food & Drinks. Cars to Drive & once you are on the list you get other things, I got a $ 50.00 Hyundai card to spend on what ever I want. Humm should have had my wife sign up seperately to get another one :)

As for the cars, our Elantra is starting to look dated compared to the 2006 Sonata & even the Accent. The accent even has the new antenna in the back of the roof & appeared to be larger inside. Altho it is not my style (Altho my wife really liked it, & there was no sticker price on the are at the time) the Azera is a great looking car & really comfortable inside.

While you are at it, go register to win a 2006 Sonata. http://2006sonatasweepstakes.hyundaiusa.com/ Some one has to, it might as well be one of us :)

I am scheduled to go to a "drive the 06 " for salesmen on Wednesday of this week. Supposedly they will let us drive the tires off of them, but we'll see. I have driven both the LX and the GLS so far, and am very impressed with the new V6, it seems like a much more entertaining partner than the 2.7 or the 3.5 that it is replacing.
