Preston Hyundai sees Great Results in Maryland and Delaware Amid Slow New Car and Truck Market

Friday, March 5th, 2010

When Hyundai America first launched at Maryland Hyundai Dealers and Delaware Hyundai Dealers in 1986, they sold cars that were $5000 and were considered a piece of junk. The car they had launched was the Excel. Since then Hyundai has made a quantum leap and really started turning heads in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their advancements in quality. Today Hyundai is at the top of the automakers in the world.


Some say that such a fast rate of growth will leave Hyundai susceptible to cutting corners and will cause problems soon or later, kind of like what happened with Toyota and their recalls. Hyundai however is aware of this and is constantly placing steps to control quality and make sure no problems will occur with any of their vehicles that they produce. Regardless it is certain that Hyundai has made a huge leap in quality while still maintaining affordable, fuel efficient, safe, and stylish cars.


Currently Hyundai is taking control of car and truck segments which include the 2011 Hyundai Sonata and the 2010 Hyundai Tucson. The new 2011 Sonata sports a longish nose, panoramic sunroof, and a coupe-style design. Hyundai’s Vice Chairman Chung Eui Sun said “The Sonata will set a new standard for world class mid-size sedans with state of the art technology, superior quality, and emotional design.” The new 2010 Hyundai Tucson now has more curves than its boxier predecessor and is a bit more aggressive looking. The 2010 Tucson is also lighter by 61 pounds and has an additional 3 inches in length. The reduction in weight has allowed it to gain better fuel economy at 31 mpg highway; a gain of 6 miles per gallon (the 2009 Hyundai Tucson was rated at 25 mpg by the EPA). The revamped Tucson also has downhill brake control, panoramic sunroof, “Eco Indicator”, and available navigation, rearview camera, steering wheel controls, XM radio, and Bluetooth.


“Both the 2011 Sonata and 2010 Tucson are signs that Hyundai is in it to win it. The new design flow is proof the Hyundai cares about how stylish their cars and trucks look. Not to mention the 2011 Hyundai Equus should boost Hyundai’s image even further and increase the value of the company as a whole.” says John Skalstad, General Manager of Salisbury Hyundai Dealer, Preston Hyundai. “We are proud to offer the Hyundai product at the Preston Auoplex. Each month it seems the residents of Delmarva become more and more interested in Hyundai.” he claims.

Hyundai Motor seen as emerging Goliath, Boasts Preston Hyundai in Hurlock, Maryland

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

In an economy where consumers are running from gas guzzling trucks and SUV’s, the emerging giant offers the right cars at the right time.  Consumers continue to move to the more fuel efficient Hyundai and Kia vehicles in an effort to keep their expenses under control.


Increasing production and shinning a bigger spotlight on them through advertising, Hyundai Motor has earned an impressive 30% increase in U.S. sales in July and August, while the industry competition suffered a 7% loss during that same period. Shifting the consumer’s attention with a better product, Hyundai then introduced several “economy rescue” plans to further stimulate consumer spending with a safety net.


The very appealing “Hyundai Assurance Program”, launched in January of this year, gave buyers who recently lost their jobs a “no questions asked – no penalty” option to return their vehicles. A month later Hyundai again presented a plan in which they would agree to cover vehicle payments for three months while buyers who had lost their jobs sought new employment. This program not only helped the consumer through a tough time, but also allowed them to keep their vehicle in the process.


Hyundai, whose desire is to fight through this economy, also looked out for its dealers.  Preston Hyundai in Hurlock, Maryland, along with all Hyundai Dealers, benefited from the company’s guarantee of receiving the up to $4500 payment per car sold under the Cash for Clunkers program.  Rather than making its dealers wait for government reimbursement, Hyundai made those payments directly to the dealers.  So while dealers of Hyundai’s competitors suffered a cash crunch from slow government payments, Hyundai dealers enjoyed the benefits of increased sales.
