Wyatt-Johnson Hyundai of Clarksville, Tennessee Bucks the Trend with Sales up 14% Over Last Year

The Wyatt-Johnson Hyundai dealership bucks the trend with sales up 14% in 2008 over last year’s numbers, even while the market is down.   “The product and the Clarksville community help maintain and stabilize our sales growth,” said Bill Powers, General Manager of Wyatt-Johnson Hyundai, Subaru, Mazda. Product excellence, which has increased dramatically in popularity, has made Hyundai one of the world’s top-selling carmakers—from #11 in 1999 to #5 in 2007!  A leading consumer magazine rated the 2008 Santa Fe as the top midsized SUV and the Santa Fe was also the recipient of the IIHS’ Top Safety Pick award for 2007.  Meanwhile the 2008 Elantra SE was rated the top small sedan and the ’08 Azera earned “Consumer’s Top Rated $15–25,000 sedan” on www.Edmunds.com. The demand for these Montgomery, Alabama-made vehicles, produced by HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA, has fueled the increased sales and popularity.  “Hyundai continues the dedication to provide our customers with reliable vehicles at thousands less than the competition, while still offering the 10 year, 100,000 mile America’s Best Warranty on all products.  The economy, fuel prices and the product itself have increased our sales over this time last year—people are really starting to catch on.” shares Brian Burkeen, Sales Manager of Wyatt-Johnson Hyundai.  “When our customers become aware of the many phenomenal features of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis, we anticipate yet another substantial sales increase.”   Hyundai continues to enter new segments as is seen with the 2009 Hyundai Genesis—a high end luxury model that competes with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, yet priced like the 3-Series and C-Class.  More than half a billion dollars and five years of developing to achieve new levels of luxury, performance and quality went into the Genesis, because “good enough” was not good enough!     Certified Independent testing by AMCI earned impressive results against world class competitors:  0-60 mph acceleration finds the Genesis at 5.7 seconds, beating out the BMW 750i (6.0 secs) and the Porsche Boxter (6.6 secs) and in cornering and braking the Genesis outperforms both the BMW 550i and the Mercedes E550.  Design, interior luxury, radio and audio system technology (only vehicle to offer Lexicon-branded Surround Sound audio other than the Rolls-Royce Phantom!), performance, rear-wheel drive architecture, electronic stability control and traction control, suspension and standard state-of-the-art safety and even a free 12 month concierge service are all part of this deluxe Genesis model offered by Hyundai. www.hyundaigenesis.com As for business trends, Powers says the recent return of troops has had a positive impact on car sales at Wyatt-Johnson Automotive.  “We expect sales to continue at higher levels for the recent future.” Founded in 1946 by Henry Wyatt, Wyatt-Johnson Automotive Group was developed into an award-winning dealership by his entrepreneurial son-in-law, Sid Johnson. The group offers Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Subaru, Hyundai, Mazda and Ford new vehicles as well as certified pre-owned vehicles.  Comprehensive services also include repair and maintenance service, parts and accessories, including a state-of-the-art collision center.  Wyatt-Johnson Automotive continues the family legacy offering quality, integrity and product knowledge in a fun and friendly professional environment.   Stores are located at 2425 and 2600 Wilma Rudolph Blvd. in Clarksville, Tennessee.  For more information visit the website at www.WyattJohnson.com or call 931/647-5651.
