Hyundai Sales Plunge 31% In October

Hyundai Motor America today announced sales of 20,820 for the month of October, a 31 percent
decrease from October 2007 levels.

    "We are experiencing one of the most challenging times in recent automotive history," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of national sales. "We are encouraged by the prospects for November. With the financial markets beginning to stabilize and the election behind us, we believe consumer confidence will be bolstered and prospects who have been on the sidelines during this period of uncertainty will re-emerge into the market to help fuel the economic engine. With some of the most fuel-efficient and standard safety equipped vehicles in the industry we feel we are well positioned to get back on track."

    All Hyundai vehicles sold in the U.S. are covered by The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty. Hyundai buyers are protected by a 10-year/100,000-mile power train warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation
warranty and 5-year/unlimited-mile roadside assistance protection.

I bet if it had a Lexus badge on it you would think otherwise. It's the brand image that Hyundai has. They haven't build up a reputation of creating that luxurious image like Lexus has. Don't forget Lexus were just rebadged Toyota's and to this day they still share parts bins (but not that it matters).

I think for the size, the amenities, and the leg room it's bang for buck value.

Lexuses are still rebadged Toyota`s but it not matters like you said . In fact I read that in Japan Toyota Century or Toyota Crown is more prestigius car than any Lexus .
