Hyundai's Chief designer Phillip Zak

2011 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)

Phillip Zak, Hyundai’s chief designer at the 2011 NAIAS showed Warren Brown, washingtonpost.com, and Lou Ann Hammond, CEO, Driving the Nation, around his newest baby, the Hyundai Curb concept.

How does Hyundai decide what type of car to design as a concept car?

What is missing from Hyundai’s lineup?

Is there a contest inside of Hyundai to design the concept?

The curb is very electronic – is that the new direction of Hyundai?

How much of this car will go into production?
