So if these people are not paid, they definitely know they are on camera. Shady marketing tactics if you ask me.<br /><br />Also, I can't stand their Christmas commercials..the one with the lady and guy. They are sooo annoying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-30395168003647517462010-10-24T01:38:54.636-07:002010-10-24T01:38:54.636-07:00"Can these people legally get away with makin..."Can these people legally get away with making a false claim like that?"<br /><br /> Well in another comment some noted that Hyundai probably is using their own tortured version of words like unsuspecting and uncensored and ... . And I'm sure there are disclaimers printed on the screen fora few seconds . Probably hard to notice since font size is pica 8 and the text color is the same as the background :-) So "caveat emptor" !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279481454285543005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-36628126150329389472010-08-26T15:37:41.928-07:002010-08-26T15:37:41.928-07:00Ford did something similar, when they filmed "...Ford did something similar, when they filmed "NOT ACTORS!" test driving their cars.

Her face looks so familiar but I can't place it for the life of me. At the 0:35 second mark she's in the lower left quadrant of the screen. There are two "Hyundai Uncensored" commercials...in the second one, she's singing some mad up "rap" song. Anyone recognize her?Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970187008267645498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-21837664547582464332010-07-24T05:04:37.081-07:002010-07-24T05:04:37.081-07:00Wayne, like I said- these commercials are stunning...Wayne, like I said- these commercials are stunningly dishonest. Hyundai is actively trying to sell us on the idea that these videos are "uncensored," when only a complete idiot would buy in. Why would anyone buy a car from a company which treats it's potential customers like this?John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-7888812054808574992010-07-23T22:31:50.872-07:002010-07-23T22:31:50.872-07:00Where I live, unchaperoned test drives happen, but...Where I live, unchaperoned test drives happen, but it's still clearly not as it's described, because in the last segment, the one where the guy is talking about how he's embarrassed to have spent the money on the Mercedes, I've seen the blonde woman in some other commercial before.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790677413950555081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-18450454465138857452010-07-22T09:57:55.613-07:002010-07-22T09:57:55.613-07:00Excellent point.

I have taken a lot of test drives, and it's never been "hey, you and your friend take it for a spin, let us know how you like it when you get back." Just more BS from Hyundai.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-57864887425816335622010-07-22T09:40:44.019-07:002010-07-22T09:40:44.019-07:00These clearly aren't even real test drives.

No car company in the world is going to let you behind the wheel of one of their cars -- nevermind let you drive off the lot -- without a salesman, yet not once in these commercials do we see one.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937187725812105538noreply@blogger.com
