Hyundai Outsells Everyone Else in August

Official car sales figures released on 4th August are set to send shockwaves through the industry. Hyundai sold more cars to retail customers in August than any other brand, overtaking Ford and Vauxhall.

(note - this is for retail sales, not fleet, and a good portion is i10 sales)

Trouble is...

When a brand is striving to get a foothold in a market, it makes an effort to look after its customers.
Once the foothold is there, where's the incentive to keep that customer care?
Dominant brands are notorious for their 'take it or leave it' attitude.
Might not Hyundai go the same way? :rolleyes:
Or, am I a cynical old barsteward? :lol:
