Look out, Toyota! There's a car on your ass and it's a Hyundai!

Japanese automakers, especially Toyota, have become bland and boring. Too many SUVs. Too little passion. Whatever happened to the Supra, the MR2 Spyder, or that "sports car for grown-ups," the Honda Prelude?

No matter, Hyundai is hungry. Their build quality is getting better. They're challenging niches they once never belonged in. They appear to be having fun. And isn't that what driving is all about?

The latest example from Korea: The Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Check out their uber-cool website and take it for a spin.

I hate to say it, Toyota. But objects in mirror are closer than they appear...

State Farm Insurance makes a point--and has fun doing it.

Good TV commercials don't have to be expensive.

Here State Farm clearly makes their point about getting what you pay for. These "documentary" style spots (does anyone remember "Candid Camera??) require little more than a video camera (or three) and a lot of moxy. The hot dog one, especially, cracks me up. I'll bet they were a blast to produce.

As long as no one came out swinging...
