Hyundai Santa Monica officially opened for business on May 1\. It will offer the full line of Hyundai vehicles, including the all-new 2006 Sonata — the first vehicle to be built in Hyundai’s U.S. plant.

“Hyundai is coming on strong with stylish, high-value vehicles, backed by the best warranty in the business,” said Mike Sullivan, owner.“There's a lot of interest in the brand among smart shoppers and we’re excited to offer Hyundai's expanding lineup along with outstanding service support to car buyers in Santa Monica.”

Hyundai Santa Monica will boast a large selection of new vehicles, a bright new showroom and a parts and service center with an advanced, Internet-based automotive diagnostic system.
