today announced record sales of 32,140 vehicles for the month of June, up
37 percent over the previous year, posting a fifth consecutive month of record
sales and setting a new all-time Hyundai sales record in the United States.
"This is the second month in a row that Hyundai has set a new all-time sales
record in the U.S.," said Hyundai's Vice President of Sales, Robert Cosmai.
Hyundai's previous monthly sales record in the U.S. was set in last month when
the company posted sales of 31,597 units.  "With our new product offerings
including the new Elantra GT 5-door hatchback and improved availability of our
Santa Fe sport utility and XG300 sedan, we expect our sales performance to
continue at record levels," 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-
