RubberBullets 65 Posted July 10, 2012 http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Hyundai-Zombie-Vehicle-Apocalypse,news-15730.html In preparation for this year's Comic-Con, Hyundai has joined in on the zombie apocalypse frenzy with the unveiling of its latest concept vehicle, the Zombie Survival Machine. Pretty much exactly what it sounds like, the Zombie Survival Machine is a heavily modified Hyundai Elantra optimized for plowing through armies of the undead. Teaming up with zombie apocalypse expert and graphic novel creator Robert Kirkman, Hyundai and Design Craft Fabrication created the vehicle with custom add-ons such as a spike-filled zombie plow, roof hatch for passenger-enabled zombie shotgunning, armored window coverings, all-terrain tires, radio system and, of course, a plethora of weapons and storage compartments. Hoping to account for just about every disaster situation, Hyundai promises to bring even more features on board. While a Hyundai Elantra probably isn't the first vehicle you would think of turning to for mowing down hordes of hungry zombies, we have to admit the company has created one mouth-watering concept. Sadly, we probably won't be seeing these bad boys enter production any time soon, so if the apocalypse comes, you'll just have to duct tape some samurai swords to your Prius and hope for the best.

this_is_nascar 162 Posted July 10, 2012 This thing doesn't have enough ground clearance, in my opinion, to be all that much useful for the intended situations. I'd want to be at least 2-3 more foot off the ground, to handle various obstacles which are guaranteed to be present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted July 10, 2012 Ranger Rover, yes.... Hyundai.... yeah, ok. It will fall apart after 40k miles. =P (not to say that the Ranger Rover will last even half that.... but it does have far superior off road.) The biggest issues with Hyundais are typically the dealerships that sell them. They treat you like a POS and try to hard sell you.... and that is the only reason I would never buy a Hyundai, and will spend more on perhaps a less reliable brand, such as Mercedes, BMW, or Audi, however at least be treated like a human being. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted July 10, 2012 Hyundai? not bloody likely....A 05 Toyota Landcruiser turbo diesel with a overland safari package and a snorkel perhaps but a Sonata on bath salts? Never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couple little issues with mine but nothing serious. It also depends on what dealership you go to. It helps to know someone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
