Misleading Hyundai Elantra ads claiming 40 mpg lands company in court

Hyundai has been sued by Consumer Watchdog and law firm Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, LLP for false advertising. Hyundai Elantra sedan ads went on air last year. These ads stated that the car gives a mileage of 40 mpg, which is not the case.Thousands of people have fallen for this and have either bought or leased a brand new Elantra sedan. Hyundai launched Elantra sedan with advertisements that stated, "the 40 Mile Per Gallon Elantra". Many people took this as a fact and bought Elantra sedan in order to save money on fuel.
