Hyundai's all-new 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe continued it strong pace with an increase over June 2006 of 37 percent, followed closely by Hyundai Sonata which experienced a 28 percent sales increase. Our 2007 fuel-efficient Hyundai Elantra kept the momentum going in its segment increasing sales 8 percent over June 2006, along with the Hyundai Entourage that more than doubled its sales over the same period last year. "The first half of 2007 was the most successful in Hyundai history," said Dave Zuchowski, vice president, National Sales, Hyundai Motor America. "Our second quarter sales rebounded strongly and resulted in first half sales which were up 1 percent over record 2006 levels. We are encouraged by this strong momentum and are well positioned for continued growth in the second half."
