Wow the C-Class and the E-Class are as strong as ever, much stronger than the 3-series and the 5-series in particular.
The refreshed LS outsold both the S-Class and the 7-series for the first time in a long time. Saw one on the road the other day and it looked really good, much more distinctive and characterful than the one before the refresh.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091001/HYUNDAILOGO)
Improved availability on key volume vehicles at Hyundai dealers across the nation played a substantial role in achieving yet another all-time monthly sales record. Fleet mix was 15 percent for the month.
The same trend held true with Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle sales as 2012's record January was immediately eclipsed this year with a best ever 5,393 CPO units, up 16.8 percent versus 2012.
"Despite some lingering economic concerns, January turned out to be a solid 1st month for us," said Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president, national sales. "The all-new Santa Fe Sport, recently named Best New Crossover in Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and the Elantra GT, Best New Car Under $20,000, both continue to do quite well with the Santa Fe selling 5,991, and the Elantra family totaling 12,174, up 24.4 percent and 11.7 percent, respectively, over the same period last year. We look forward to adding the all-new 7 passenger Santa Fe to our line-up next month, allowing growing families an opportunity to experience the Hyundai brand."
"We've got a solid foundation going into the new year," said John Krafcik , president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. "We've got a great line-up of vehicles and we're looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday when we'll share with upwards of 110 million viewers our all-new Santa Fe, our premium Genesis sedan and the surprising Sonata 2.0T."

The success of the U.S.-built* Optima and Sorento in 2 of the industry's largest segments has fueled Kia's rapid growth and is complemented by Kia's comprehensive lineup which includes the Soul urban passenger vehicle, Sportage compact CUV, Optima Hybrid, the Forte sedan, 5-door and Koup compacts, Rio and Rio 5-door sub-compacts and the Sedona minivan.
* The Sorento and Optima GDI (EX Trims and certain LX Trims only) and GDI Turbo are built in the United States from U.S. and globally sourced parts.

Toyota had 17.5% fleet sales. Ford exceeded 20% I believe also (should be much higher b/c ended 2013 with 30% fleets). Chrysler is 24%. Nissan is at 15-20% as usual? (Nissan is usually the highest culprit in terms of fleet sales among exports). Honda is at its typical 2-3%.

Thanks. Surprised at that #. Usually higher fleet sales should dramatically increase your overall sales. Not a good look for Hyundai at all. Their lineup is aging very poorly.

Toyota had a very strong month as well, nipping at Ford's heals, with strong retail sales complemented by a boost in fleet sales caused by delayed December orders.
