Hyundai Sales Set Another New Record

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 1 -- Hyundai Motor America today announced sales of 28,503 vehicles for the month of February, setting another new sales record for the month. ``Hyundai sales were up 15% over last February,'' said Robert Cosmai, Vice-President of Sales for Hyundai Motor America. ``This marks our 13th consecutive month of record-setting sales and we expect these surging sales to continue. Our product lineup is fresh and sales of our exciting all-new 2003 Tiburon sporty coupe, which has just started to arrive in dealer showrooms, will continue to grow as the supply increases,'' he added.

``In addition to our complete line of high-quality, high-value vehicles, another factor bringing customers into Hyundai showrooms is The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty,'' Cosmai said. ``Hyundai buyers are covered by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year/100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty and 5-year/unlimited-mile roadside assistance protection,'' he added.
