October is here and the state fair is right around the corner. September sales ended up with GM down 44.8%, Chrysler down 42.1% but Kia up 24.4% and Hyundai up 27.2%. Here at Wilson Auto Group, our Kia and Hyundai sales were up 106% from September of last year!

Kia and Hyundai continue to outperform the market with exciting new products, outstanding value and the tendency for folks to watch their money a little closer in this economic recession.
We are real excited about the all new Hyundai Sonata and Tucson which are coming out in the 4th qtr of 2009.

I recently toured the new Kia production plant in West Point, Georgia which represents an investment of over $1 Billion dollars in the USA by Kia. This plant is the most technologically advanced automobile plant in the world and makes extensive use of robotics and non-union labor for maximum efficiency and quality.

Here at Wilson Auto Group, I am especially proud of my team for capturing the number one sales honors for the entire state of Mississippi as well as outselling Hyundai competitors in Memphis, New Orleans, Birmingham, Nashville, Shreveport and many other southern cities.

Our goal is to consistently be in the top 10 in a 5 state area that includes: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisianna, Arkansas and Tennessee. My team did a great job in Sept and posted at #6 in this 5 state region!

Stop in and see the Hyundai and Kia lineup that is breaking all records and posting huge market share gains in this tough enviroment and you'll see why.
