Red face BMW driver ruins car, Hyundai steps in to remedy

We all saw the BMW (woman) driver drive over a car when trying to park. Apparently the car run over was a Hyundai and the company stepped in to remedy the situation. All videos on the matter:

You'd think BMW would step up since it was its car that caused the damage...

Yeah.. if by "step up" you mean that they would ensure that she's prosecuted for "Hit and Run" and gets her license suspended and if the car is leased, they immediately terminate her lease and prevent her from ever owning/driving a BMW again. Ever.

New Elantra $15K
Good press for Hyundai, at least $1million worth. People will remeber this much longer than some superbowl commercial.
nicely done Hyundai.

Well played on the PR card.

Now time to milk it with a commercial like GM did with Onstar and stolen vehicles.

*Edit with commercial.

Or maybe the jackass who did the damage would step up and take care of the problem they caused.
