CLAYTON, Australia – December 22, 2008: Hyundai Motor Company is a proud supporter of football worldwide and in Australia Hyundai supports the Qantas Socceroos and the Hyundai A-League.

Socceroo, Luke Wilkshire is currently home in Australia for the Christmas period for the first time in 8 years. Luke is currently residing in Russia playing for Dynamo Moscow. Whilst in Australia Luke and his family will be driving in a 2009 Sonata CRDi turbo Diesel.

Luke said “Russia is an extremely interesting place and the football is of a high standard allowing me to challenge myself more, however home is where the heart is (Australia).”

He continued, “While I am back I will be doing a number of family activities such as coast trips and excursions to the zoo, this requires a safe, comfortable and reliable car, the Sonata is perfect for this!”

The Wilkshire family particularly like the iPod connectivity and the safety features such as ESP Stability Control and the standard 6 airbags.

Kevin McCann, HMCA’s Director of Sales and Marketing commented “It is a pleasure to support Luke whilst he is home in Australia.”
