Carter County Hyundai

Hold it, readers! Did you just read that headline? Then you should know why Carter County Hyundai of Ardmore, OK is so excited to represent a small part of the Hyundai franchise! Last month, the automaker's sales jumped an amazing 40 percent in the Philippines, as compared to January 2011, due to quick sales of its passenger car models like the Hyundai i10, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra, and the 2012 Hyundai Accent. And, not only were these models popular farther south; they also racked up some serious sales in the U.S.

It's taking the world by storm! Er, or at least the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. What is "it?" The 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT! The GT is an all-new hatchback body style for the Hyundai Elantra, and it's amazing Chicago Auto Show visitors at this very moment!

South Korean auto manufacturer Hyundai is burying some serious roots in America. The Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (which opened in 2005 and employs 170 people) recently announced that it will further expand the company's influence in Superior Township, Michigan by building an innovative Hot/Cold Weather Dynamometer Test facility there.

Congratulations to our friends at Hyundai on designing and producing the North American "Car of the Year!" That's right, readers. The 2012 Hyundai Elantra was named "Car of the Year" at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The new Elantra has earned a ton of awards since its debut, but this is quite possibly its most impressive yet!

If you've been paying close attention to Hyundai news lately, you know that the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will make its universal debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January. However, you may also know that the vehicle's powertrain information has been kept under "lock and key" by the company. Good news, readers. Carter County Hyundai can now release those specs to you. Following a launch in South Korea last week, the company announced that the new Coupe will (again) come with your choice of naturally aspirated V-6 or four-cylinder turbo engine, but with more torque and power than the current 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Hyundai is growing! For the second year in a row, the automaker has nearly doubled its sales compared to the same record-setting period this time last year. The company, which recently received the award for "Highest Residual Value" in its class from ALG, announced on Dec. 1, 2011 that it had sold almost 50 thousand vehicles in November, a 22 percent total sales increase and 24 percent retail sales increase vs. last November.

When Carter County Hyundai first heard that the 2012 Hyundai Tucson was going to be featured in The Walking Dead, to say we were interested would be an understatement. It's very hard to pull off product placement in such a show and more often than not it looks cheesy and artificial.

Luckily, the good people at Hyundai had similar concerns, which caused a lot of time and energy going into the vehicle's placement…

Hyundai is showing up at more high profile events than they had ever before. Ranging from events like the Super Bowl to the Academy Awards, Hyundai has made a bold appearance when the most people are watching. Out out of all of its appearances, Hyundai has especially taken a liking to football.

The South Korean automaker has added college football to the list of active sponsorships in the continuous Hyundai "Big Voices in Big Places…

The all new 2012 Hyundai Veloster has finally arrived here at Carter County Hyundai, and we couldn't be more excited! Well, actually, the only thing that has us more thrilled than this hot, new three-door coupe's debut is the performance-driven variant that is heading to the 2011 SEMA show, which promises to show off its aftermarket potential.

Hyundai and ARK Performance are teaming up to manufacture the new Veloster variant, which has been…
