Hyundai (http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai/) first started building cars at its Montgomery, Alabama assembly plant in May 2005, and last week amidst considerable fanfare, the plant's one millionth car rolled off the line. The milestone vehicle was a 2010 Sonata (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sonata) sedan, one of the last of its type before the plant switches over to the new 2011 YF model that debuted in Los Angeles (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/02/2011-hyundai-sonata-at-2009-la-auto-show/) at nearly the same time.
The plant also builds the mid-sized Santa Fe (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/santa+fe) crossover and the mix so far has been about two-thirds Sonata with the CUV making up the rest. According to Hyundai, approximately 2,700 people work at the assembly plant. An adjacent engine plant produces V6 and four-cylinder engines including the new 2.4-liter direct injected engine for the Sonata. Official press release after the jump.
