I am sure there is some unbiased organisation which ensures that sales figures are not overstated. (like NADA in the US)

In the states both Ford and Chevrolet run neck to neck each year and they would kill to use the phrase "best selling brand in America" in their ads. some years ago there was some controversy when one was leading the other when all of a sudden the other brand sold a lot of cars during the last week of December to end up higher by 2000 units.

I dont see what PR mileage Hyundai can get out of this.

BTW, forget Hyundai...you see very little Japanese cars in Western Europe. Car buyers are very nationalistic and buy only local brands. Its only in northern European countries like Denmark, Finland that you see Japanese brands lead.
