Since this website doesn't report on Korean sales anymore.

Hyundai up 2.4% with most of its models being trounced by the Toyota competition. The more expensive and aging Highlander easily outsold the brand spanking new Kuga clone Santa Fe.

KIA up 2.2%, sales volume by model basically matches Hyundai.

Why they decide to continue having 2 economy brands makes no sense.

Take that haters!!!! More sales numbers means that their cars are superior. Just like McDonalds sells more food than any other restuarant, which means that McDonalds makes the best food.

And yet if it's your favorite brand that's sells well, you'd be proudly screaming how good it is. The hypocrisy of this numbnut is legendary.

Toyota should reduce the number of models, any less than 1k/mo with neg growth. Invest in the models that make money.
