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.
