The new Mountaneer and Explorers have very good lease programs in the northeast....With a blizzard arriving here in a few hours some of you might be taking advantage soon.

Not to be argumentative, but in Pittsburgh Hyundai not only outsells Honda, but Toyota too.
 
Resale is getting better, but nowhere near Honda. I just took in a 2001 Civic DX coupe with 37k miles for $7200. Wasn't that car about $14k new? Not one to buy for a used car bargain. I checked all the books and the number was right on.

Unless Honda has some horrible Honda dealers in Pittsburgh?
 
Ditto for the Toyota stores!

It's more the market here. We have a Hyundai store sitting next to our Nissan store. Same management team for both of them and Hyundai outsells Nissan 2 to 1. My Hyundai store outsells our other one by the same ratio.

I just don't understand. They sure aren't very popular around here new or used!

Look for them to start making a dent soon, because they definitely appeal to people who want a new car but can't quite afford a Honda, Toyota or Nissan. They are indeed much improved, and their warranty helps sell the cars too.
 
Re the PT Cruiser: my sister has one, totally loves it and wouldn't be without it. Hers is two or three years old now. She doesn't care about resale value either, will own it as long as it's standing. It's a perfect run around town, park and shop kind of car.
 
Their other car is a Cadillac, so they've got their bases covered, whether they need the highway cruiser or the run-around town mobile.

Any "savings" realized by buying a Hyundi disappear at trade in time! They were forced into the long warranties in an attempt to win confidence in what had been a troublesome car.
 
I agree, they imnproved. They had to. I would still rather have a two year old Honda or Toyota, but that's me.

A matter of demographics ? by beliver

Isell: Not being flip but let's be honest, your customer base is probably more sophisticated there in Seattle ( how else could you explain Starbucks?) and I suspect the median income is higher than here in the Sunshine State.
 
biancar is right. The appeal of a new car with a killer warranty appeals to folks that just cant see the difference on the surface between a Honda or Toyota. If you have not taken the time to REALLY look over a new Sonata or the new Azera you should. You will be amazed !! That new Azera is for a fact getting mighty close to a Avalon in quality, fit and finish etc. at a bargain price. Please go do that and report back with a unbiased opinion. (is that even possible for a Hyundai salesman LOL !!)
 
Hyundai is a knockin' on your back door. I think nationally they are fifth in sales and may be even fourth by now. This speaks volumes for their perceived value and reliability.
 
I remember "back in the day" when Honda first started out in my home town they were selling that little, butt ugly car in the parking lot of the local hardware store. Hyundai has already gone thru that stage and is going to be a company that will rattle all the collective cages of the competition from now on. NO- I don't work for them.
