Wilson Auto Group sales were up 46% over February 2011 and up 57% over March 2010. YTD our Hyundai sales are up 27% over last years first quarter and our Kia sales are up a whopping 208%!
I just got back from Las Vegas and the Hyundai National Dealer meeting. What an inspired and excited dealer body! I believe 90% of all Hyundai dealers were there and the atmosphere with Hyundai's new products, fuel efficiency leadership and sales momentum was electrifying!
Our newest baby, Accent, will be for sale in a few weeks along with the new Sonata Hybrid, giving Wilson Hyundai two more 40 MPG vehicles. Veloster will follow this summer and it is quite impressive in person...another 40 MPG hit coming soon.
April is destined to be a great month as gas prices have car shoppers thinking small to med-sized cars/SUV's which is the heart of our product line-up. New Sonata's start at just $19,990 and new Tucson's are only $19,995....under $20,000 for a fuel efficient, roomy, safe and reliable Crossover SUV! AND...Wilson Hyundai has our best-ever selection of Tucson's.
Kia continues to have tremendous sales momentum and will set records in April with our largest selection ever of the hot-selling Kia Sorento SUV. Produced here in the deep south in West Point, Georgia, Sorento gets 29 MPG and is priced under $20,000! With the room, 5 star safety ratings, 10yr/100,000 mile warranty and great styling....Kia Sorento can't be beat and has been named by a promient consumer magazine as its "TOP FAMILY SUV"....ahead of Honda CRV, Toyota and Nissan.
Wilson Kia has a huge selection and they are all sale priced in April to "turn and earn". In addition, the fuel efficient Kia Forte is sale priced in April for ZERO down and just $269 per month. We are encouraging customers to take advantage of a return to the market of major sub-prime/near-prime lenders. With Forte's $1000 rebate used as down payment, we expect to put a record number of Forte drivers behind the wheel with low payments of just $269 per month.
In addition, the all-new Kia Optima is arriving in greater quantities and we are sellling them literally as they arrive off the truck.
Call us at (601)914-4200 or browse our entire inventory at http://www.wilsonautos.com/
We expect a record April as we drive towards a fantastic year at Wilson Auto Group. Consumer confidence has returned, gas prices have given lots a new reason to trade and lenders have loosened up...how could this not be a great month?

First Alabama built Elantra hits the ground
We are pretty excited that the first 2011 Elantra arrived at Wilson Hyundai today. This vehicle is manufactured in the USA at Hyundai's state of the art Montgomery Alabama facility alongside the USA built Sonata.
With styling like its Sonata sibling, the Elantra is a real head turner. Priced about $5000 less than the Sonata...we expect HUGE VOLUME out of this vehicle. In blind consumer testing, it tested higher against Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic than even the Sonata did against Camry and Accord.
Fuel economy?
29 city and 40 hwy!!!!!!!!
Outstanding value, fuel economy, styling and safety features...this will be a huge success story for Hyundai.
Wilson Hyundai is located in Jackson MS and is online at http://www.wilsonautogroup.com/

Doug's November 2010 Newsletter
Last week's mid-term elections seem to have sparked a good rally in the stock market and also increased the number of car shoppers we are seeing as well. Our economic recovery seems to continue although its not as robust as any of us would like. We are particulary blessed to be part of the incredible Hyundai and Kia success story in America.
Sales Update:
Nationally, Hyundai sales increase in October by 37.6% and Kia was up 38.7% in a market that overall was up 13.4%. Toyota continues to suffer due to recalls and blows to its quality reputation and was down 7.0%.
Here in Jackson, MS at Wilson Hyundai, our Hyundai new vehicle sales are up 51.7% year to date and our Kia sales are up 52.5% YTD.
Thank you Mississippi for your support!
Motor Trend (Dec 2010 edition) SUV of the Year Awards:
The SUV of the year awards from Motor Trend were just announced and the Porsche Cayenne was the winner but the Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Tucson all were prominently featured!
Of the Kia Sportage, Motor Trend said: "Over the past few years, Kia has made gigantic strides in building not just competitive but potentially segment-leading vehicles. The new 2011 Kia Sportage is no exception with its all-new exterior, interior, and drivetrain upgrades."
"Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture design theme, which debuted on the second-gen 2010 Tucson, has paid big dividends...with year to year sales...jumped 131%...needless to say, Americans like 'em some Tucson." "value" "excellent fuel economy"
New Alabama-made product coming:
We are real excited about the new Elantra which is scheduled to arrive in our dealership in the next 60 days. It shares the "fluidic sculpture" design of the 2011 Sonata (sales up 125% nationally last month!) in a package/price to compete with Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla in the huge volume compact car segment. I have personally seen this new car and cannot wait to get them. To build our allocation of the all new 2011 Elantra, we have bought extra 2010 Elantra's and are sacrificing the profit to earn allocation. Right now, with year-end rebates and our 2010 Model Year closeout sale...you can get a brand new Elantra for only $13,995...with AC, Power windows and lock, XM Satellite/CD stereo and much more!
Made in America!
CNNMoney.com article on American built content quotes Hyundai CEO as saying Hyundai will have over 80 of our vehicles built in America by this time next year....building our 3 top selling vehicles here. Ford builds its best-selling car in Mexico. Only 60-70% of GM's cars are built here...at 80%, Hyundai would build a higher percentage of its vehicles here (and in our beloved SOUTH!) than GM, Chrysler or Ford!
Sonata Turbo here:
The all new 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo is here now at Wilson Hyundai. With 274 horsepower, it has more power than any of its competitors V-6's...plus gets better fuel economy than any of its competitors 4 cylinders! You read that right.
Kia Sorento leads the pack:
The all new 2011 Kia Sorento is Kia's best selling model and is built right here in West Point, Georgia on the Alabama/Georgia line. As a mid-size SUV/crossover, its great looks, incredible fuel economy, $19,995 price point and 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty is earning it a lot of fans!
New Facebook pages:
www.facebook.com/wilsonkia is our new Kia Facebook page and www.facebook.com/wilsonhyundai is our new Hyundai page. We have already given away tickets to Talladega, movie tickets, $25 gift cards to Stix Restaurant, SEC football tickets and have an IPOD contest going on now! Real people winning real prizes....plus car care tips, recipes and unadvertised vehicle specials. Come join the fun and look thru all the photos we post daily of happy new Hyundai and Kia vehicle owners!
Auto Press gets hands on newest car:
Automobile Magazine's December edition will include a story on the all new 2011 Kia Optima. Here what they had to say..."The 2011 Optima is a cleanly designed, elegant sedan that's missing not a pinch of visual appeal due to cost-cutting. It's roofline is worthy of a Jaguar, and its proportions are phenomenal. In fact, aside from its me-too fender vents, it looks unlike any other car on the road, and its easily the best looking car in its class." also said...."Kia is now clearly out front" "The power to surprise? We'll say."
Thanksgiving time:
Personally, I am so thankful for all the support from nice people like you who have supported us this year. We appreciate every single person who shopped with us, serviced their vehicle here or bought a new or used vehicle. We covet your business and strive to be worthy of keeping it and having another opportunity down the road. 2011 has been a great year for us at Wilson Hyundai and Wilson Kia and we owe it all to YOU!
Please do not think twice about contacting me if I may be of service in finding a new or used car, truck or SUV or if you need service/parts on your current vehicle...or just some unbiased advice on an auto-related matter.
