South Korean and foreign automakers have set higher domestic sales targets for 2007, despite concerns

of slower economic growth, industry sources said Sunday.  Carmakers said they aimed to attract customers

to showrooms by rolling out new models, highlighting quality and style improvements and strengthening

marketing efforts.  South Korea's economy is expected to grow by around 4.5 percent this year, a drop from

the 5 percent growth last year.  In late 2006 the country had 15.89 million registered cars on the roads.
