" If you&amp;#039;re like me, you know the South Korean automaker has been on a rapid ascent, both in quality and in global presence. Here in Southern California, we do see lots of Sonatas and Santa Fes on the road, as well as an increasing number of Genesis sedans (that&amp;#039;s a photo of our long-term Genesis, above, in Zion National Park). But just how big is Hyundai? Well, here are some just-released facts: Since 2007, Hyundai has been the 5th-largest automaker in the world, with 75,000 global employees. Hyundai vehicles are sold 193 countries around the world, through some 6000 dealerships. There are five overseas plants in China, India, Turkey, U.S. and the Czech Republic. And last, check out the September Global Sales chart below; it speaks for itself. For the record, &amp;quot;CV&amp;quot; stands for commercial vehicles. Worth noting: In the year-to-date 2010 category, you&amp;#039;ll see that sales from overseas (not in South Korea) plants are more than 4.5 times higher than total South Korean sales. Also, the vast majority of overseas sales are from overseas plants, as one might expect.
