FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America
today announced sales of 40,703 for the month of July, a 6.5 percent
decrease over the same period last year.
"Although Accent and Elantra sales continued their upward trend with
increases of 96 percent and 31 percent respectively over the same period
last year, we experienced an overall slow down for the month of July," said
Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of national sales.
"We are encouraged going forward, however, due to the fact we have recently
opened a new four-cylinder engine plant in Montgomery, Alabama, allowing us
to shift our engine mix for future product. We also expect greater
availability of our more-fuel efficient vehicles in the months to come and
the demand for our new rear-wheel drive Genesis to continue to rise."
