Hyundai Motor America just announced that the all new 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS was named best in residual value by Automotive Lease Guide (ALG), the industry leader for establishing automotive residual values.  As stated in the Hyundai press release, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, now available at Lehigh Valley Hyundai, outperformed “competitive 2010 models from Toyota, Nissan, Ford and Chevrolet in addition to premium brands such as Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes.”

This is quite an accomplishment for Hyundai and firmly establishes the brand as a big time player in the American retail automobile market.  Stop by and check out the all new 2011 Hyundai Sonata at your local Allentown Hyundai dealer.

Recently, a customer that goes by the name of RSixGuy wrote this review about their experience with us.  They explain that they used DealerRater to find a dealership that was focused on customer service.  This person drove up to see us from the Jersey Shore.  They drove home in a new Hyundai.

I write about this review because I am proud of the job our team is doing but also because we all believe in an open, transparent, customer-centric buying process.  We’re also pretty serious about great service post sale.  If you are in the market for a new Hyundai in the Lehigh Valley or beyond, please consider stopping to see us.  We hope that you will writing the next review about us.

From all of us at Lehigh Valley Hyundai, we want to thank RSixGuy for the outstanding review.

Without a doubt, oil plays a major part when it comes to an engine’s performance and health. 0W-20
engine oil is fast becoming the recommended service fill for many new Honda models (and those from
other automakers), replacing the ever-popular 5W-20. Why? Because in engines designed for its use,
it provides superior starting performance and fuel economy without the risk of premature engine wear.

Engine wear typically happens when you start the engine cold and it’s warming up, so it’s really important
for the engine oil to get to work right away. 0W-20 is a very low-viscosity oil that’s specially formulated to
quickly reach critical engine components when the engine is started. It also helps the engine use less fuel.
The zero in 0W-20 doesn’t mean zero viscosity; it means superior low-temperature performance.

Honda has been developing and testing engines for a number of years now with the expectation that
someday 0W-20 would become the oil of choice. It’s been used in many Honda models sold in Europe and
Japan since 2001 with no reported problems, and it’s been the factory fill for all Insights and Civic Hybrids
sold in the U.S.

Lehigh Valley Honda to Host Free Hybrid Car Safety Clinic for Area Firefighters and First Responders

Emmaus, PA – July 8, 2009 – Lehigh Valley Honda, in partnership with the Eastern PA EMS Council and Lehigh County Community College, will be hosting firefighters, EMS Technicians and other first responders at a Hybrid Car Safety Clinic at their facility located on the Lehigh Street Auto Mile in Emmaus.  Due to the success and overwhelming demand from previous Hybrid Car Safety Clinics, Lehigh Valley Honda will be hosting two separate clinics this year.  The first clinic is scheduled for Thursday July 23^rd and the second will be held on Thursday August 6^th.  Both will be from 6:30-9:00pm.  Topics discussed during the five breakout sessions at each event will cover how to disable a hybrid car battery, fire hazards posed by hybrid cars, the effects of water on hybrid cars, and air bag sensor locations and causes of deployment.

Lehigh Valley Honda began conducting these clinics a few years ago in response to stories in the national news media about firefighters and EMS technicians being killed when they responded to accidents involving hybrid cars where the complex hybrid battery systems ended up electrifying the bodies of the cars as a result of the accident.  “First responders were approaching the cars not knowing that they were hybrids and they ended up getting electrocuted when they attempted to rescue the victims.  Hearing this, we felt compelled to reach out to first responder in the Lehigh Valley and beyond and offer to educate them on ways to spot a hybrid” said Paul Goodwin, General Manager of Lehigh Valley Honda.  “The response has been overwhelming.”

Firefighters, EMS technicians and other first responders interested in participating are being asked to register with John Ott of Lehigh County Community College.  Registration and participation are free for interested parties.  Registration inquiries can be sent to Mr. Ott via email to johnott@lehighcounty.org.

This was first reported by our friends at AutoBlogGreen.  As their post mentions, Honda isn’t just committed to building environmentally friendly cars, they are also committed to an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.  I am sure that the all new 2010 Honda Insight will be built in one of these environmentally friendly factories.  Check out the above video on the Insight.  It’s pretty cool and should be priced under $20,000.  We look forward to seeing the all new hybrid Insight in our showroom at Lehigh Valley Honda this spring.
