The Latest Super Bowl Ads from Audi, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, Subaru, Toyota and VW

Some carmakers released a whole new string of ads that will run prior to kickoff and during this Sunday's Super Bowl game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans.

There's a little something for everyone, from Mercedes-Benz's new CLA spot with Kate Upton and Kia's Space Babies, to the re-appearance of Big Bang star Kaley Cuoco in Toyota's 2014 RAV4 spot and Subaru's dog friendly commercial for the 2014 Forester crossover.

Hyundai shows us two more Super Bowl commercials

Hyundai is gearing up to show five commercials during this year's Super Bowl, and you've probably already seen one of them called Don't Tell that's been airing on television for weeks now. The Korean automaker has released two of the other four ads, though it looks like it might keep the headlining ad for the three-row Santa Fe, called Epic PlayDate, under wraps until the big game.

Of the two ads published on YouTube, we like Stuck the most, which features the Sonata Turbo. It presents all of the horrid things you could be stuck behind on the highway as reason enough for buying a boosted Sonata with its ample passing power.

Container Turns Hyundai Elantra into a Low Rider

While tornadoes in Dallas were tossing around trucks and containers up in the air as if they were toys, in Busan, which is the second largest city in South Korea after Seoul, strong winds pushed a container on top of a relatively new Hyundai Elantra saloon.

Naturally, since no one was hurt, the story was quickly picked up by Hyundai, which posted one of the pictures shared by the community at Chosun, on its Facebook page.

The photo of the container leaning on the Elantra sedan was accompanied by this caption on the brand's page: "A car that won almost every Car of the Year (COTY) award around the world preventing a container from getting blown away by strong wind."

You may or may not find it funny that the truck carrying the container is badged as a Daewoo.

New Brochure Shots of 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

Given that the world premiere of the all-new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe at next month's New York International Auto Show is imminent, it shouldn't come to much of a surprise that the first brochure shots of the crossover model have leaked onto the web, courtesy of The Korean Blog.

While these scans are from the Korean market model, we don't expect any significant styling changes over the Santa Fe that will be sold in other countries around the world.
