Cool! I own a Hyundai and I'm glad to see that Bentley feels the need to emulate the little Korean car maker after years of seeing just the opposite. This is, of course, a 4,000 Euro...er...pound accessory package for Bentleys, isn't it? Hee hee hee.
The only thing at Sunset and Stone Canyon is UCLA... Notice that is Hyundai of Bel Air....Multi-million dollar homes but no car dealerships. All part of the joke... Funny... It is probably owned by the San Fernando Hyundai dealer....who makes enough from Korean cars to buy a British(VW) car.... Very expensive joke...
Well, it'll make people want Hyundai now. If they see this car, and especially if they sit in it, they'll think, WOW, Hyundais ARE nice. I want one now. :)

You know... I think Curtis is on to something. Considering your average consumer knows jack-all about cars, they may well think that this obviously well-made and attractive car _is_ a Hyundai, and then some would be motivated to visit the dealership.
Back in the day my cousin put Mercedes emblems on a '62 Ford Falcon. It fooled most people, even though he didn't try very hard to cover up the ford emblems.
My co-worker and I took a picture of this car back in mid 2006. We went out to lunch on Hollywood Blvd, east of Kaiser Sunset and gazed in amazement for 30 minutes.
Very clever! A kid I knew in high school had one of those boxy Renault Alliance convertibles that he put a 318 BMW grille and emblems on and some people fell for it. Actually it was a rather nice shape Renault Alliance lol.

He/she even has a license plate holder from a Hyundai dealership, how incredulous.

There is a Hyundai of Bel Air
It is Bel Air MD.....

maybe they want people to think that Hyundai finally went and copied an entire car instead of just a front end or a back end or a side or something.

"The only thing at Sunset and Stone Canyon is UCLA..."
Not true, check Google Maps. It's the location of the Bel Air Country Club. Sounds like someone lost a gentlemans bet.

I think its great that it got badged up to be a hundy... would be the closest said korean car maker comes to having a decent car in their grips.
