Hyundai Motor America's One-Of-A-Kind Program Takes Women Out of the Office

       and Onto the Driving Course for a Life-Saving Safety Seminar

   What:        Hyundai Motor America (HMA) has harnessed the experience of
                Lyn St. James, the only woman to be named Indy 500 Rookie of
                the Year, and other top female drivers to bring this
                one-of-a-kind driving seminar to women.  Not for the faint
                of heart, this class will put women behind the wheel of
                Hyundai's XG350 and on specially designed driving courses to
                participate in exercises that will teach life-saving driving
                techniques, including braking and steering skills.

   When:        Tuesday, December 9, 2003
                Session One -- 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
                Session Two -- 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
                Lunch served from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

   Why:         Hyundai Motor America understands the influence of the
                female consumer.  Statistics show that women influence more
                than 80-85 percent of all vehicle purchases and account for
                more than 50 percent of car buyers.  Through its Power of
                the Purse program -- automotive empowerment workshops
                designed to teach women how to make more informed decisions
                about car buying and servicing -- HMA has shown its
                dedication to helping women during the car buying process.
                With this seminar, Hyundai takes its commitment to women one
                step further by empowering them on the road.

   Who:         Hyundai executives will be joined by Indy 500 veteran, Lyn
                St. James, and other professional female drivers who will
                conduct the safety courses.  In addition, business leaders
                from the healthcare, publishing and automotive industries
                will participate.
