"The LS 600h L hybrid luxury sedan posted sales of 196 units for the month."
Is there a projected monthly/annual sales target that we can compare to?
And how does it fare against the other $100k+ sedans?

Hyundai Motor America Reports September Sales
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America
today reported 33,214 sales for the month of September. The fuel-efficient
Accent and the all-new Santa Fe led the month with sales of 3,120 and
7,496, respectively, up 64 percent and 21 percent over September 2006. The
new Veracruz continued to post strong sales with 1,653 units sold for the
month.
"While we are encouraged with the strong sales of Accent and Santa Fe,
our overall sales were flat versus 2006, reflecting the challenging
economic climate and industry conditions," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai
Motor America's vice president, National Sales. "We just concluded a very
successful dealer meeting, and as our 2008 models begin to arrive on our
dealer's lots, we are quite optimistic about having a successful fourth
quarter."
All Hyundai vehicles sold in the U.S. are covered by The Hyundai
Advantage, America's Best Warranty. Hyundai buyers are protected by a
10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile
