2012 Car of the Year
January 24th, 2012 by Chronic Consumer
While most “… of the Year” awards are handed out in December, the auto industry does things differently. They announce their award in January — probably because the new models have already been out for a couple of months. Either way, the Hyundai Elantra has been named the 2012 Car of the Year, which is a huge win for Hyundai.
I don’t know much about Elantras, but I do think at least one Hyundai model looks pretty damn cool. I’m not sure of the name of the car, but it’s the one Fiona drives on Burn Notice. I am always impressed by how sleek and sporty it looks, so if I were in the market for a new car, I’d definitely consider Hyundai!

Hey,
That’s a Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Check out the following link – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Genesis_Coupe
It says – The coupe has also appeared in the TV series Burn Notice as Fiona’s new car. It also made an appearance in the eighth season of the TV series 24 as one of the pursuit vehicles driven by Jack Bauer.
Hyundai is a big name here in India. Though my car is a Fiat.
Cheers!

Ooh, thanks for the info!! I really do think Fiona’s car is cool, especially that nice blue color she has. I want it!
