March 1, 200620 yr Wonder how many of those Sonatas are to rental agencies because I see a lot[/]b of barcoded ones here.
March 1, 200620 yr I was impressed with the Sonata at the auto show. On the other hand I was horrified by the Elantra and Accent...who buys those things? A/C is an 800 dollar option on those things...800 bucks.
March 2, 200620 yr Isn't it amazing how a companies PR department can dream up these headlines. " A new February sales record for Hyundai". They sold 74 more cars than last February. Edited March 2, 200620 yr by I hope GMRULES again
March 2, 200620 yr Isn't it amazing how a companies PR department can dream up these headlines. " A new February sales record for Hyundai". They sold 74 more cars than last February. If I am not mistaken, they did sell more cars than last February or any February, for that matter. In other words, it is a monthly sales record. I am sure GM would be doing the same thing.
March 2, 200620 yr If I am not mistaken, they did sell more cars than last February or any February, for that matter. In other words, it is a monthly sales record. I am sure GM would be doing the same thing. I know its a monthly sales record and GM would do the same thing, however it is funny that they only went up by 74 vehicles.
March 2, 200620 yr Wonder how many of those Sonatas are to rental agencies because I see a lot[/]b of barcoded ones here. less than impala
March 2, 200620 yr As a percentage, though. Doesn't GM sell, like a quarter million Impalas? Certainly a lot more than the Sonata! So what percentage of Sonatas end up on fleet lots?
March 2, 200620 yr I know its a monthly sales record and GM would do the same thing, however it is funny that they only went up by 74 vehicles. Alright, I understand where you are coming from now.
