Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
Hyundai is reporting that it too was burned in September. Sonata sales were the only area of increase, with a jump of some 31.7 percent, to a total of 8,629 for September. (The nasty little asterisk is that the Sonata is so heavily sold to fleet that Hyundai no longer breaks out the actual [...]

Re: Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
It's no big surprise when their only offering above and beyond the usual is
a 375 HP luxury car when we can't even get gas at any price and Wall Street has taken our money as bonuses and golden parachutes. Duh???

And, as the owner of two 07 Sante Fe's (because 2 cost the same as even a new Grand Cherokee) I am speaking from first hand experience - we are the segment that has been most effected by this economic crunch. I notice that there is an abundance of higher end cars mostly on the road now and also filling up with premium at the pumps when many of us put in only what we can afford now.

Re: Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
Hey, I'm retired on fixed income so I'm not biting on any overpriced gas
guzzling luxury car! I have a Sonata that is the daily driver and a 2003 Sedona that I only put 3000 miles a year on. And around here in Georgia, there is NO premium at all!!! Most stations don't even have gas! Regular is $4.09 a gallon!! If Hyundai is targeting low and middle income, what in the hell are they doing promoting the Genesis in every other commercial on TV?? Yes, there are a lot of high end SUV's on the road because the fools bought them when they thought they were invulnerable and invincible, just like they bought that 1/2 million dollar house with nothing down and great rates. Screw them all now.

Re: Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
You should retire to Arizona, regular is about $3.30 a gallon and you could
find a gas station if you were blind. The real loser the last few months I think is Kia who brought out the Borreago about 6 years too late.

Re: Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
Yea, my cousin live in Alamogordo, NM and that's what his gas costs.
Kia was building a pickup in their plant here in Georgia/Alabama but scuttled it in favor of a new small car to be introduced soon.

Try NJ. We're at $3.02 in a few places today. We have the lowest gas tx in the country. The problem is, almost every other tax is the highest in the country. Eric |

And at that price they pump it for you too! I hate pumping gas in the winter, not too crazy about it at other times either. Self service was a screwing of the public. |
Re: Hyundai's September Sales Down 25.4%
I'm killing time and went to see the Genesis. Was not planning on buying I
was just looking. I tell the salesman "You'll have to come down a lot for me to be interested". He says "We won't go any lower than sticker on this car." I told him call me in a year or so. They had 5 on their lot. <sjmmail2000-247@yahoo.co.uk> wrote in message news:SbqdnR05kKrBJHjVnZ2dneKdnZydnZ2d@bt.com... > Hyundai is reporting that it too was burned in September.

They are no longer targeting only the low and middle income buyers. They are going for a piece of the luxury market. The Azera was to catch the Buick/Lincoln /Avalon owner, the Genesis is after the BMW/Lexus/Mercedes owners. Those people not only can afford a nice car, they can afford to put the gas in it. No matter how much or how little you want to spend, they want to take your money. Years ago the Big 3 did t hat with different brand names, now some auto makers will do it with one. |
