Hyundai Sales Flat with a .5% Increase For March

Hyundai Motor America today reported its best March ever with sales of 41,984 vehicles, up 22 percent over February. The all-new Santa Fe and Accent were up 109 percent and 57 percent over March 2006 respectively.

"Once again we are pleased to see such a strong March given the continued challenging sales conditions across the country," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai's vice president of National Sales. "We are excited to finish off the first quarter with such momentum and feel poised for continued sales growth in the second quarter with the launch of our new midsize crossover Veracruz and continued strong performance from one of the freshest product lineups in the industry."

Notice the spin? They compared against last month not March of last year, and they clouded the sales figures furthur by mentioning the the Accent and Santa Fe sales against March of last year. Over all they increase sales by 208 units for the month as compared to last year.

People have really cooled to the Sonata, the car that was supposed to dethrone the Camcord

the car that will dethrone the camcord will be the Altima. 27k units compared to 36 and 46 of accord and camery. I would say that 9k units is certainly within striking distance. The Camry maybe not so much right now. But, I say if Nissan continues spending in the right places then within 5 years, you could see the Altima is the second name on the top 10 sales list for sedans.

Eh, the Altima's okay, but I'd have the Accord first.
