Each year Hyundai hosts their annual R&D IDEA Festival in Korea, where their engineers get to show off some of their craziest concept cars. A competition of sorts, the company's engineers spend months prior to the event developing creative concept cars that aim to alter transportation as we know it. At this year's competition, many great prototypes were presented, but only four were chosen as the very best.

We are beyond pleased to announce that the all-new Hyundai Genesis and Sonata have made the short list for North American Car of the Year! Out of all the brands included in the compilation, Hyundai was the only one to have two cars recognized for their excellence, increasing the automaker's odds of winning the prestigious award.

The 2015 Hyundai Elantra has officially hit the market and it has arrived with a few new additions that take its appeal to the next level. Updated and better than ever, the sedan features all-new style- and sport tech packages available on select models that add to the cabin's offerings and cater to today's buyers.

For years, parents have been telling their kids to look both ways before crossing the street, but apparently, the young girl in this recently released dashcam video did not get the memo. In what could have been a tragic accident, the schoolgirl found herself face to face with a speeding bus after she failed to pay attention to oncoming traffic when crossing the road.

Oktoberfest Village at Taste of Springfield is almost here again and we're proud to announce that Reliable Imports will be sponsoring this year's festivities! Slated to take place on Saturday, Oct. 5, in Downtown Springfield on Park Central Square, Oktoberfest Village is one portion of the annual Taste of Springfield festival, which stands as the city's most-attended single day event.

Hyundai has effectively strengthened their popularity over the years, evolving from a small brand to a leading competitor in the automotive industry. Their continuous efforts to develop high-quality, efficient models has played a big hand in their success, and with each year, their lineup only gets better, offering more and more first-class features for buyers to take advantage of.

Each year we see popular car brands add new models to their lineup and axe others that they just don't have room for anymore. Sometimes it's a necessary practice in order to bring in fresh additions, and for 2015, Hyundai has done just that with the Elantra Coupe. The model has officially been removed from the automaker's U.S. lineup for 2015 without any word as to whether it will return in the future.

Reliable Imports would like to thank everyone who attended the "American Idol" bus tour tryouts last month at Branson Landing. We were excited to be the main sponsor of the Idol Bus Tour Branson stop and enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful people who came out to audition for the upcoming 14th season of "American Idol."

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded the 2015 Hyundai Sonata with their prestigious Top Safety Pick+ rating, establishing the sedan as one of the safest cars on the road when outfitted with the forward collision warning system. All-new for 2015, the Sonata is a highly technological vehicle and Hyundai is proud of its new-found success, which puts it aside fellow Top Safety Pick+ recipient, the 2015 Genesis.
