Have you seen latest US car sales numbers? Autoblog has published a very nice sales table by automakers regarding the US February 2009 car sales. If you are one of those interested in the monthly sales numbers, I strongly advise you to visit Autoblog.com, which covers monthly sales results for all car brands.

While the automotive industry struglles from falling new car demand, most automakers experienced sharp declines in sales last month. GM, Toyota, Honda and others have lost up to 50 percent or even more sales compared to the same month of last year. There are, however, some exceptions that have done a good job last month. Kia and Subaru both posted gains in February sales.

Hyundai did also quite good in the US in February, with sales falling “only” 1.5 percent compared to last years February. Hyundai Motor America reported its sales decreased to 30.621 vehicles from 31090 vehicles sold a year earlier despite aggressive marketing and a program that allows buyers to return their cars should they lose their jobs.

While sales of the Elantra compact sedan rose 33 percent to 8,978, the sales of the companys best selling model, the Sonata sedan, tumbled more than 40 percent. Hyundai Sonata has seen some ups and downs over the past few months, but itsyear-to-date numbers stay close to the last years numbers. Hyundai Genesis sedan has had the best selling month with sales going up to 1.263 units.
