SUV dream car.

Good morning All, amidst all of the gigantic praise we have received on the Elantra and Sonata (listen, we can tell it's working, because we have few on our lot, well done, you! no worries more are coming) I forgot to brag about our other cars.

Sure, sure Hyundai is known for their very appealing compacts but one of my favorites: The Santa Fe (yum). I have always wanted an SUV. Right now I'm dying to trade in my husbands car (which may or may not be a Camry-he bought it before we were married) and purchase something we can pack to the roof. We like to do outdoorsy stuff. Jeez, who doesn't? We live in Texas, so doesn't it just make sense?

Aside from making sense, hold onto your hats while I tell you all the luscious features and even hit you with some [delightfully reasonable] pricing. First I'll tell you that while reading about the 2011 Santa Fe I kept seeing that "Front Solar Glass Window" now comes standard, whatever that means. So...I looked it up! Found out from an article that solar glass helps us Texans stay cool in the summer by reducing heat gain through the window, but at the same time maximizes the sun's energy to reduce your car's energy cost. Cool. Aside from that your Standard GLS package comes with:

• BLUETOOTH! hands free phone! Oprah will be proud.
• iPod/USB/Aux Plug, listen to whatever you heart desires...loudly
• Audio controls on the steering wheel (again, with the Oprah pride)
• Roof Rack
• 5 stars on NHTSA's frontal and side crash tests.
  
• 17" Alloy Wheels (so sassy)
• Wood grain trim
  

Bottom Lines:

• Pricing starts at $21,845 for the base manual transmission
• Clock in at $23,145 for the GLS automatic package
• Work our way up to $26,145 for the SE package
• And finally we land at $27,195 for the Limited
• **disclaimer: you can go higher than this if you so desire the Navigation and back up camera. But the highest, tip-top price is only $30,845.
  

And you thought you couldn't afford one. Ha. Come on. Call us, you know you want to!! Or just browse them yourself. But who doesn't want a new SUV for summertime. Pile in those kids!

I forgot to tell you. This month, there is a $2,000 rebate available for the car if you finance with Hyundai. ($1,000 if you finance elsewhere or pay cash) and if you finance through Hyundai you could get an APR as low as 1.9% (as high as 4.9% which is still better than my 5.8%).
So, honestly, we'll see you soon.
