Have I mentioned how much I *hate* that black/grey plastic that they install around the wheel wells?

I hope they figure out that Tucson is spelled wrong.

EDIT: Nope, NSF4 and the main title of the article have it wrong, but in the text they get it right. I wonder how much $$ these writers/editors make to let stuff like that slide ;)

Maybe, they wanted it to be called a "Tus-Can"??

Perhaps they were so busy engineering their superior-to-the-Japanese vehicle that they overlooked the proper spelling. Not that 99 out of 100 people would notice though. I guarantee people will pronounce this vehicle like "Two Sahn" and Hyundai did most like want it to be pronounced as "Tusk khan". But, following their Sante Fe name, I think they've just fvcked up the spelling of Tucson.

Tuc-sun, sounds like a Korean word.


Tuc is Chicken in Korean
Sun sounds like Mountain in Korean

Tuc-Sun maybe means Chicken Mountain..
Hyundai spelled it correctly. It's the web site, Autoweek, that screwed it up :p

Cladding = :thumbsdown:

Still, Hyundai should have another hit on their hands. Americans gobble up SUVs like nobody's business and Hyundai's quality has improved significantly.
