Yet more viral PR for Hyundai

Not sure this is the kind of PR Hyundai wants, but it's very positive PR nonetheless about Hyundai ruggedness and durability, of course other than the fact that it was stolen.

It's like a Timex watch. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

These threads on this car are starting to look like Hyundai’s PR team is sponsoring viral guerrila marketing instead of them being genuine.

Those two should have been removed from the population long ago. Go soft on criminals and they go hard on innocents.

LOL. Well it's an ICE Elantra and not an EV. Date of chase was May 7th and posted 5 days ago.

I've probably watched over a hundred of these YT police chase videos, and I've never seen anything like this. The first massive broadside hit should have taken it out, but must have been a one-in-a-million where it didn't. Not only were they able to continue, but at high speed and tracking straight! Mind-boggling.

True. I am not a progressive, let the criminals run free kind of guy. Some judgment needs to be applied but that chase seemed to have an amazing amount of risk to innocent citizens.

I do hope those idiots never see the light of day.

I get it. I was mainly referring to all of the Hyundai activity in this sub-forum happening at once.

Kudos to the LEOs in that video. I Don't have the temperament to be a police officer.

We already knew you were in the tank for Hyundai. My post is sponsored by Keeps For Men. Use them for all your hair needs.
