Really? Really:

Hyundai is looking toward the future.
Unfortunately it’s a bleak future, where humanity is on the verge of extinction brought upon by the Zombie Apocalypse, but, hey, you’ve got to plan for everything, right?
The automaker has teamed up with the creator of the “The Walking Dead” comic book series, Robert Kirkman, to create a Zombie Survival Machine based on its new Elantra Coupe, which will be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con on July 11th.

Basically you’re looking at a low-rent Batmobile targeted to the gun-nut Survivalist market. That’s not what’s so interesting here to the ZRC, but rather, the varying approaches the major automakers are taking toward the Zombie demographic.

Hyundai, obviously, is Anti-Zombie.
Honda, on the other hand, is Zombie Friendly.
And Ford is just plain mean to the Undead.

So we’re 1 for 3, which is obviously a record to be improved upon. Still, Zombie car shoppers and their Living Allies can avoid Hyundai and Ford for the time being. It just seems like the right thing to do.
