Hi Musher51,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I guess that Dataguy is correct in his assumption.
I contacted Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. requesting information about the procedure to follow to obtain the Genesis licence plate frames and was told that" The accessory you speak of was provided by Hyundai Motor America in the United States and is not affiliated with Hyundai Auto Canada. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Kind Regards,
Tasha
Customer Relations Coordinator
Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. "
Sooo...I guess we Canadians are out of luck unless we can get them through an American connection or friend.
Thanks and take care.
GOOD NEWS
After viewing Dataguy's post dated July 1st. 2009, showing the new 2009 Genesis licence plate frame along with the letter he received from the Vice President of Marketing, Hyundai Motor America, I took note of the name and decided to write him a letter.
On September 4th. 2009, I wrote a letter to Mr. Joel Ewanick, Vice President of Marketing in California, requesting a 2009 Genesis Licence plate frame with the 2009 North American Car of the Year wording.
I explained to him that I was a Canadian and that I had written to Hyundai Auto Canada to request that licence frame. I was informed by Hyundai Canada that it was a promotional item sent to the U.S. Genesis customers only.
I never heard anything further ....until today that is.
Today, December 15th. 2009, I received the Genesis licence plate frame via airmail that I had requested.
The accompanying letter was signed by Mr. Alex Perez, Executive Communications, Hyundai Motor America.
He advised that my letter to Mr. Ewanick was forwarded to him.
He also stated that the Genesis licence plate frames were a promotional item sent to U.S. customers and that due to a limited supply, these licence plate frames are no longer available.
However...they did locate one additional licence plate frame and they forwarded it to me.
This licence plate frame was valued at $15.00 when it went through the Canadian Customs and it cost Hyundai a little over $10.00 to forward it to me.
So Hyundai Motor America spent $25.00 in all to get this licence plate frame to me.
I am writing all this to show that it would appear the Hyundai Corporation is willing to help its customers when it is possible.
I am very please with this outcome.....THANKS HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA.
