If you're an auto enthusiast, you probably already know that Kia is one of the fastest growing brands in the world-and has even been named the fastest expanding auto brand in the U.S. From 2009-2011,the South Korean auto manufacturer launched more vehicles in the United States than any other automaker/manufacturer and was recognized for its unique, industry-leading styling thanks to chief designer Peter Schreyer.Kia recorded its 17th consecutive year of market share growth in 2011, and its expansion and accolades keep adding up. Last month, March 2012, was its biggest to-date.
In March 2012, Kia achieved all-time best monthly sales numbers of 57,505- a 30.2-percent increase compared to March 2011. As Byung Mo Ahn, Group President and CEO of Kia Motors America and Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG), explains, "Kia has invested heavily in the U.S. market, and our record-breaking monthly performance demonstrates how far the brand has come in an extremely short period of time with consumers being drawn at an increasing rate to our unique value formula, which includes world-class design, outstanding fuel efficiency, premium features and cutting-edge technologies. We are extremely proud that our U.S. assembly plant builds two of our best-selling vehicles, and collectively the Optima, Sorento and Soul demonstrate the powerful potential for the Kia brand with more new products and technologies set to arrive in the next 12 months."1
