FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America
today announced sales of 41,130 for the month of August, an 8.8 percent
decrease from the all-time August sales record set in 2007.
"Once again the fuel-efficient Accent, Sonata and Elantra, despite
restricted availability, continued their upward sales trend with increases
of 73 percent, 17 percent and 13 percent, respectively, over the same month
last year," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of
national sales. "As illustrated by our August sales, the small to midsize
segments continue to be where the market is and we believe Hyundai is
extremely well positioned to capitalize on this."
"Additionally, we just finished our first full month of sales of our
new rear-wheel drive Genesis and we are thrilled with the results of 1,177
units. Genesis is changing the way American buyers think about the Hyundai
brand and is attracting an entirely new type of prospect to our showrooms."
