How many of us have been sprawled out on the couch in our homes on a Sunday afternoon, potato chip crumbs tumbling down our shirt, soda can in one hand, television remote in the other, watching our favorite NFL team playing in a game, and wishing we could be on the field right alongside the players?

If you are are a customer of ours at Lithia Hyundai of Fresno, you probably live in or near Fresno, California. Based on your home address, we would guess you are a 49ers or Raiders fan, although there also some Cowboys fans here too…

If you are like us at Lithia Hyundai of Fresno, you know connectivity is a familiar theme when it comes to discussions of modern features in cars. By connectivity, we mean the capability that drivers have to interact with their cars, for example, navigation or wireless audio streaming, or to connect with other drivers through, such as hands-free phone calls. However, there are other, more advanced types of connectivity that vehicles can utilize to make life easier for drivers. That is what Hyundai’s Blue Link® platform does.

Yesterday, Hyundai announced via a press release that two of vehicles recently earned the top spot in their respective segments in AutoPacific’s 20th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSAs). Based on more than 65,000 customer survey responses, the 2016 Tucson was named most satisfying in the compact crossover SUV category, while the 2016 Azera was named tops in the large car category...

Earlier this year we announced that Hyundai would be rolling-out a line of alternative-fuel vehicles on the Ioniq platform, including a plug-in, plug-in hybrid and all-electric variant. As your go-to source for Hyundai related news, we would like to inform you of some more electrified excitement that we caught wind of yesterday...

What makes the 2017 Hyundai Elantra so special? Oh, let us count the ways!

A line of alternative-fuel vehicles are coming to the 2017 Hyundai lineup. Oh, and they don't sacrifice style. The 2017 Ioniq lineup with consist of a plug-in hybrid, regular hybrid and all-electric model. We first learned of this introduction at the New York International Auto Show and are pleased to report that Hyundai will be the first automaker with a vehicle that offers these three options.

This past Friday, Hyundai Motors America issued a press release announcing that March 2016 was the company's best sales month in history. The automaker sold 75,310 vehicles, beating last year's number by nearly 300 units. Hyundai also enjoyed it's best opening quarter, selling 173,330 units, an increase of more than 1,300 units...

No doubt one of the most crowded classes throughout the entire industry, the midsize sedan segment is also one of the most fiercely competitive. Automakers from seemingly every corner of the earth are angling to get in on the action, tossing their respective hats into the ring.

As such, it can sometimes be a real chore for the consumer to find the right fit.

Unless, of course, you've considered ours, the 2016 Hyundai Sonata.

A most incredible fusion of form and function, the Sonata is like a symphony for the senses. Get a good look at in the video…

While we at Lithia Hyundai of Fresno will admit to being a bit biased, we're nonetheless quite convinced that the 2016 Hyundai Genesis represents one of the finest options throughout the increasingly competitive full-size luxury sedan segment.

What's more, it seems like Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones, wholeheartedly agrees with our assessment. Watch him sing the praises of this stately stunner in the clip below:

Though it may, indeed, be the base trim, the Genesis 3.8 iteration is anything but basic. In fact, we think this is the one that'll provide the biggest bang for your buck…

As an official sponsor of the NFL, Hyundai has decided to take its advertising up a notch during this year's Super Bowl. On Sunday it will release four different ads to promote the 2016 Hyundai Genesis and the all-new 2017 Hyundai Elantra during one of the most highly anticipated events of the year.

The short clip we've shared below gives us a sneak peek at the spot titled "First Date." Take a look.
