Hyundai Wins Design Award

Hyundai, and First Hyundai of New England, over the years have surprised a lot of people. Hyundai recently is going through a rebranding and redesign phase for their cars, and it is paying off. Hyundai is now slated as the fastest growing car company, and the redesign on their cars are catching a lot of attention. So much attention that the 2012 Hyundai i40 Wagon brought in the Golden Award at the EuroCarBody Conference in Germany.

Receiving an award like this is very impressive, especially since it is not only the first time an Asian automaker won this award, but it is also the first time Hyundai entered the competition.

The Hyundai i40 Wagon beat out some impressive competition including the Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz B class, BMW 1 series and the Mazda CX-5. As well as the design, the judges were also impressed with the Hyundai i40 Wagon's engineering, use of materials and efficiency.

I haven't been able to find if or when the Hyundai i40 is coming to the states, but when it does be assured that First Hyundai will have it in their show room.
