The Central Region Parts Distributer Manager was just at my dealership today and was driving the new Hyundai Tucson. There are only 2 of them in the United States, both as test vehicles. They will not start producing them for another 2 months, and will hit showrooms in September. They are being driven so they can work out some bugs that might occur. Very similar to the Sante Fe, but smaller. Has a lot of small features that you normally wouldn't look at, but they are nice. Like, a tailgate glass that opens separate from the tailgate, power outlets in the cargo area in the rear, etc. Also, for front seat passengers, a lot more head and leg room than the Sante Fe. For being a small vehicle, it seems a lot bigger than the Sante Fe on the inside. Should be a nice buy for anybody wanting a small SUV, but can't afford a Sante Fe. Also, JD Power released statement today that Hyundai now surpases Toyota in initial quality. A big step for Hyundai now ranked 7th among all manufacturers in initial quality.
