Get ready for a surprise towards the end of April cause Hyundai’s going to air a new set of TV ads comparing its cars against the likes of Lexus’s and BMW‘s. According to Automotive News the idea behind the TV spots is to push the idea -in an amusing but deadly serious way, that a Hyundai offers the same or maybe more amenities than double-priced “rival” models.
