Hyundai’s all-new, three-row, flagship SUV – the 2020 Palisade – took center stage at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show and, recently, the Chicago Auto Show team had the chance to attend Hyundai’s regional program featuring a driving excursion to Starved Rock State Park. The event was part of the Midwest Automotive Media Association’s July meeting where 25 media members had the chance to learn more about and evaluate the Palisade on an hour-and-a-half-drive (each way) to the scenic state park. 

 

The Chicago Auto Show team had the opportunity to attend the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Spring Rally a couple weeks ago at Road America -- one of the world’s premier race tracks -- in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Over the course of two days, approximately 100 automotive journalists (who are also MAMA members) had the chance to put nearly 80 vehicles through their paces in a variety of driving opportunities. The first event day consisted of track touring laps and street driving, whereas the second and final day swapped on-track activities for off-road and autocross courses.
