At a time when gasoline prices hover around $4/per gallon and the world is becoming more environmentally-conscious, auto companies that concentrate on these issues are more important and impressive than ever before. Take Hyundai, for example. The South Korean automaker was recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the number one automaker in the U.S. as far as fuel economy ratings and CO₂ emissions are concerned. These findings were reported in the EPA 2011 Light-Duty Automotive Technology and Fuel Economy Trends Report, and they apply to the 2010 model year.

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!

And, not only were these models popular farther south; they also racked up some serious sales in the U.S.

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.
