The biggest problem both Kia and Hyundai have in the US right now is now awareness but the incapacity to keep up with demand. Hyundai has already stated its doing all it can to boost Elantra production, but we’re likely not going to see a repeat of last year’s sales increase due to the problem.
Now, Kia has pledged to its dealers another 100,000 cars this year. "It's a work in progress, but that's our goal," said Tom Loveless, vice president of sales for Kia Motors America.
That might not sound interesting, but 100,000 cars means an increase of 20 percent over the 2011 sales of 485,492 vehicles, according to Automotive News.
"What they're trying to do is get production from Europe, Asia — some of those markets where things have slowed or where they have some issues," ark Scarpelli, president of Raymond Kia in the Chicago suburb of Antioch Illinois.
