Hyundai Veloster Banned commercial

Now, the Dutch are known for their open-mindedness, so you’d have to figure anything they’d censor off their airwaves would have to be pretty bad. Right? Well, sorta. It’s a little morbid, the spot that revolves around the Angel of Death and the benefits of not having a street-side passenger door. Never mind the fact that actually promoting the lack of a certain feature on a car – in this case, on the Hyundai Veloster – as a safety measure is a rather dubious claim in the first place.

It’s been a busy two years in the subcompact world. Newcomers like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 have made it clear they intend to give models like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and segment volume leader Nissan Versa a run for their small-displacement money. Even General Motors is getting into the fray with the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Sonic after years of trying to pass off the Aveo as legitimate transportation. So when Hyundai announced it was taking the knife to its Accent, we knew to expect good things.

The Korean automaker hasn’t been one to mess around lately, and vehicles like the all-new Elantra and redesigned Sonata have helped push the manufacturer to the highest market share in the company’s history – 5.6 percent in May. With the segment’s first direct-injection four-cylinder engine, the buyer’s choice of a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, an impossibly low MSRP and 40 mpg highway from every model, it’s clear that the 2012 Hyundai Accent is intent on eclipsing the competition.
