Hi everybody,
I know that this newsgroup is predominantly US contributors and a few from the UK Australia and New Zealand...and maybe Hyundai Australia monitor this newsgroup.
Well yester day I went into the local dealer to trade in my 2007 2.7L V6 Tucson on a new one and they said " No...there are no longer any Tucsons coming to Australia and they hadn't seen a V6 for over 6 months." AND the proposed replacement would ( might) be here in April 2010 and may cost $8000 more than the present(?) Tucsons. Still couldn't even tell me if there was going to be a diesel option. WTF is going on?
They tried to flog me a Santa Fe R Series but I looked at the price and didn't feel it was value for the money....plus they didn't even have one on the floor or owned by the staff that my wife and I could look at.
So sadly after enjoying my experience with my Tucson I went to the Suzuki dealer down the road and the wife liked the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The deal offered was great so we signed a contract to buy one.
Hyundai just lost a customer who was extremely happy with their vehicles and no doubt there will be more......
