Yesterday we created the Nice Guy Award and awarded Toys "R" Us. Today we're awarding Hyundai Motors. Again, we have no idea whether Hyundai is a guy or a gal. Guy just sounded better to our ears.
So why is Hyundai getting a Nice Guy Award?
Hyundai is offering a vehicle return program you to walk away from your loan or lease in case of certain life-altering circumstances, like losing your job. Hyundai calls it the Hyundai Assurance.

How does it work?
- Available to all new Hyundai cars leased or bought in the next 12 months & to everybody regardless of age, health or employment history
- Covers up to $7,500 in negative equity
- Coverage in case of: involuntary unemployment, physical disability, loss of driver's license due to medical impairment, int'l employment transfer, self-employed bankruptcy, accidental death
Guys, we love this program. Thank you!
You can find more information at Hyundai's website.

The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
