South Korean automaker Kia has just announced plans to grow 2012 sales in America and Europe, by 10 percent and 22.8 percent respectively. Together, these two bullish objectives will help support a nine-and-a-half percent increase in overall global sales.
What's prompting such an extreme push across the pond? A less-than-bullish market. For drivers from Midlothian who might not be keeping up on the auto market overseas, Pence Kia can tell you the climate in the U.S. has been cool the past few years and chillier yet in Europe.
Pence Kia won't lie and say it's going to be easy for Kia to meet their 2012 sales goals. Given the European market is expected to shrink for the fifth year in a row, it will be extremely challenging. Yet, given the amazing options in the new Kia lineup, and the fact experts are projecting a steady recovery in America, we're confident they'll succeed. It might take a little more sweat, but they will get there.
Among the many plans in place to help Kia achieve their goals are a new plant in China, an updated Cee'd compact in Europe and an all-new, generously-sized premium K9 sedan in South Korea.
