"Our ability to outperform the general market, realize retail market share increases every single month during 2009, and achieve what we believe to be the biggest market share gain in the industry was a real feat during these difficult market conditions," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of national sales.
"We are looking forward to 2010 and have reason to be optimistic," added Zuchowski. "Led by our strongest product lineup ever, highlighted by the all-new Tucson and all-new Sonata -- and more great products in the pipeline -- the ranking by the EPA as the most fuel-efficient car company in America, and the enhanced Hyundai Assurance program, it's clear that we're already off to a great start in 2010."
