It’d probably be smart to buy shares in Hyundai Motor company right now.

The Euro manufacturers all know that Aussie drivers are the best in the world, and don’t have a problem turning on wipers, indicators, and lights, no matter where the switches are.

But then, there is the odd dodo who can’t handle such a simple thing. Probably also gets confused if the fuel filler is on the wrong side.

Good to know that atleast some car companies think that Australia is an important sector unlike most euro cars that dont even bother to switch the indicators and wipers to the correct side for right hand drive countries!

“i” totally agree with the comments that state as to who cares what apple thinks. “ipod” is a trademark, not the “i”.

First we have good news Toyota hybrid story, now a Hyundai low pollution story… Is CarAdvice turning into a hippie warren? /sarc

Put a decent amount of batteries into a i-Blue car using a series hybrid set up and you can have the best of both worlds.

Looks like Ford and Holden need to really get crap together. Will Holden want to get the Volt? Imagine an LPG Volt… Awesome idea.

Maybe Hyundai didn’t even think Apple, and were going backwards from like the 335i for example. To a more european branding style.

True Golf, Merc has those ‘Bluetec’ cars as well.

Funny then, “i” like apples branding and blue from other car manufacturers. shows how good their naming system is…

But then again wasnt iPrimus before the ipod??? so this can go all around and around really…

Between i-blue, blutec and bluemotion, blue seems to be the new ‘green’.

Who gives a toss what Apple thinks.

They picked the name of a fruit for their company, they didn’t ask apple growers.

Oh – apple growers are in a different business?

Well Hyundai is in a different business so they can use the name if they like.

But it should have been I-Green, not I-Blue……..

I’m not impressed how Hyundai has used the “i” brand, i wonder what apple has to say about that.

Having said that, Hyundai know how to do white good cars like no one else these days, being effective, well build, and thoroughly modern.

They are the new Toyota.

Intended to sound like Volkswagen’s Bluemotion range, perhaps? Cheeky…
