today announced sales of 27,179 vehicles for the month of January surpassing
last January's sales and setting a new record for the month. "After setting an
all-time annual sales record in 2002 we have begun 2003 on a strong note,"
said Hyundai's Vice President of Sales Robert Cosmai.  "Strong sales of our
Elantra and Santa Fe models assisted us in attaining another record month. The
market remains very competitive, however our value message and America's Best
Warranty continue to resonate with the Hyundai customers. Our customers
understand that Hyundai products have high quality, great styling and
tremendous value," he added.
    "In addition to our complete line of high-quality, high-value Hyundai cars

warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year/100,000-
