Hyundai Essay Introduction

Improved Essays
Hyundai 's first offerings in the United States were a failure, due to their reliability problems. The Excel and Scoupe sedans often fell apart with low mileage, and had numerous mechanical issues involving transmissions, electrical components, and the engine itself. After not being able to land a substantial chunk of the American marketplace, this South Korean automaker decided to double its efforts, in releasing new vehicles that would offer years of service at a reasonable price. They have reaped these dividends, as their cars are highly rated by automotive publications, and their sales numbers have grown exponentially. You will not hear cackles of laughter when you mention Hyundai vehicles, and models such as their Elantra, have become …show more content…
The kind service manager at the car dealership that was working on my automobile attempted to get me a rental car immediately, but apparently there had been a rental car shortage in Colorado Springs in recent weeks and a car would not be available until about 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. I took my family out to see some of the sights of Colorado Springs while we waited and true to their word, Enterprise Rent A Car called me at exactly 2:00 p.m. to let me know that they had a small SUV ready for me. I headed back towards the dealership and called Enterprise when I was about five minutes away. When we arrived at the GMC garage, the gentleman from Enterprise was there, ready and waiting with a vehicle. He drove us to the Enterprise office located at the corner of Platte and Chelton Avenues. While we went inside to get financial matters taken care of he took the car around back and sprayed it off for us. The staff at the Enterprise office was exceptionally nice, especially Eric, who helped us. We were waited on quickly and everything was handled in an efficient manner. They already had our information from the dealership and even offered us the dealership rate on the rental since we were having our car fixed there. Within fifteen minutes we were on our way in a very comfortable Chevrolet Equinox. Driving the Equinox was a pleasant experience. It was clean, inside and out and drove smoothly. It was great to have a reliable auto for the day that we were without our own vehicle. The next morning Eric called to check in to make sure that everything was going well and the car was working out for us, which it was. That afternoon the service department called us to tell us our car was ready. We drove the Equinox back to Enterprise where we were greeted by name. Eric came

    One thing that surprised me about the car was that the car tires were filled with nitrogen gas instead of compressed air. Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless non-toxic gas used to reduce the temperature of the tire and increase its lifespan. In races, it may be able to keep tire pressure more constant and slow pressure loss without reacting to the tire and rim materials. Another thing that surprised me about the car was its design and build. What really caught my eye was that the inside of the body shell of the car. The insides looked gutted out to make the car lighter, less flammable and to make room for equipment and other important stuff. The car didn't have any doors. You have to get in through the window and have to remove the steering wheel to get in. The…

    As a speech pathologist in early intervention and in the education arena, I have assessed a diverse population of children birth-three years old, as well as school aged children. When choosing an assessment instrument, I consider multiple factors to include, how long does it take to administer the instrument, what is the age of the child, are there co-existing disabilities, will the parent or caregiver be available to provide information. The Preschool School Language Scale- Fifth Edition (PLS-5) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-2) are both designed to address the communication development in young children. Both assessments allow for parent interview, observation and elicitation from subjects as means to administer the instrument. I will discuss my experience with these instruments, similarities and differences, and my opinion of each instrument.…

    In a nutshell, Drive, written by Daniel H. Pink, is a book on what really motivates as humans. For the longest time, I think we all that the key motivators in life are external incentives, like money, bonuses, vacation time, etc. What Pink has found through his own research and through experiments of various psychologists is that the main motivators are intrinsic. Once basic monetary means are met, people are motivated by having a desire to achieve mastery, gain autonomy, and work for a purpose.…

    One of the reasons is that already existing brands have their loyal customers, and to develop the trust of new target market will be quite uncertain. Another factor is that numbers of dollar millionaires who are spending on higher end groups are encouraging several luxury car makers to start operations in Korea including Volkswagen AG's Bugatti and Bentley, BMW's Rolls-Royce and Ferrari SpA. As too look out for bigger market share before nurturing new market, Aston Martin needs to out an effort to connect with the customers and stronger the relationship with…
