The Coupe Creator app, starring the 2012 Hyundai Genesis, allows Facebook users to design their own custom coupes in an effort to defeat conformity. Visitors can also take the Hyundai Highway Personality Test, an interactive quiz and driving experience that determines the car that best matches their personal preferences.

 

The “Uncensored” campaign for the 2011 Sonata allowed users to upload videos that provided honest accounts of their car shopping experiences to the Facebook page.

The Community page also includes reviews and user-uploaded photos of memorable places and trips.

 

The “Inside Hyundai” section keeps visitors up to date on the latest events, reviews, news and interviews including the success of the Hyundai motorsports program.
