As soon as the Tucson is here I will be taking plenty of pics and also detail the differences between KDM and NA models for every body

No doubt! I'm giddy as a school girl waiting to finally get to drive one. The one touch roof should be in the states as well as the gas shock hood.

Finally got to go through a production Tucson. A few things that I found interesting. They actually have a strut tower brace, didn't see that coming. The rear seats are the most intuitive and easy to fold seats I have ever come across. One touch and they fold flat. There is definately a huge difference in cargo compared to the Santa Fe. Also the surfaces in this thing have the softest touch plastics that I have ever seen/felt in a Hyundai. Incredible stereo. I was disappointed there was a prop rod under the hood. I expected gas shocks. None the less, Hyundai is going to sell a ton of these. Don't get to drive it till tomorrow though.

Every stateside Hyundai dealer should have one Tucson in stock now. Tell you guys what, drove one for the first time yesterday, and it blew me away. Very crisp handling, great steering feel. The V6 has some snap to it as well. Not to mention I personally believe this is one of the tightest built vehicles I have ever driven (Honda's and Toyota's included). Everything is soft to the touch and easy to reach. The way everything sounds when you shut it (doors, tailgate, etc.) is perfect. Not to mention the level of equipment this thing has standard, incredible. Makes me wonder how much more stuff the 05 Santa Fe will have to have just to remain vialbe. Final word is wow. Just wow...

Still no tucson's here. Perhaps the 3 hurricanes we have had recently are delaying shipments from the brunswick georgia port? My fingers are still crossed for this friday tho.

Nautical Blue. It's the color that is in all the press releases.

All 4 of my nearest hyundai dealers have had their shipments delayed for 2 weeks due to demand in the KDM and all the recent hurricanes in the southeast US. Maybe ill get to drive one next year sometime. Did anyone catch that tucson that was ebay for 2500$ over msrp? It never sold or got a bid.
