Hyundai Motor Co. says it won't require car payments from owners who have been forced into unpaid leaves because of Tuesday's U.S. government shutdown.
The company says it will continue to defer payments for existing customers as long as their furloughs continue. Hyundai also is offering government employees who had been considering a new car a 90-day reprieve from beginning to pay for one if they buy now.
Hyundai made a related offer in 2009 during the economic crisis, offering U.S. buyers the option of returning their cars during the first year of ownership if they lost their jobs.
The company phased out that offer in April 2011 and promptly replaced it with a program that guarantees the trade-in value of a new Hyundai models after the third or fourth year.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
