Are you on Twitter? Well, we’ve got something fun in store for you this week! We’re kicking off our first live #HyundaiChat this Thursday, July 19 with a very special guest – our CEO John Krafcik!

It’s been a busy summer here at Hyundai. We’ll check in with John on the Veloster Turbo, Elantra GT and Elantra Coupe product launches; our push for National Fuel Efficiency Month; and our post-apocalyptic Elantra Coupe Zombie Edition unveiled at Comic Con last week. We’ll also leave some time for open discussion and questions. Check out the details below:

Would like to be able to preorder a car with specific options. How about a program where you can preorder your “customized” car and that would include a 3 to 5 day trip for two to the place of origin of the vehicle.
I agree with Sonny’s idea. Specially since I had to travel 120 miles to get my car in a color I didn’t want. My only other choice was to travel 1,600 miles each way.
Sonny, that sounds very cool. Thanks for the idea. I’ll be sure to share with the team here.
Frustrated Hyundai has had the Veloster Turbo launch, lots of media, however, no product is in the pipeline to be shipped to the US southwest particularly Phoenix, Arizona. Plenty going to the midwest. What’s up ?
Tim, we’re delivering VT’s as fast as we can. There’s been a lot of demand and they are getting snapped up quickly.
That was nice. Only caught the last few minutes but John is great. Also, this is much more accessible than the ThinkTank chats for people that aren’t at home. Thanks guys.
James, thanks for participating. We’ve posted the archive of the whole chat on Storify: http://storify.com/Hyundai/hyundaichat-log-07-19-12
