My experience with a recent Elantra HEV purchase: had to put a deposit down with a dealer that guaranteed selling at MSRP to await an allocation and avoid other dealership shenanigans. At the time, most of the incoming stock was already reserved before it hit the lots. The silver (what they called "fluid metal") is definitely a great color - it's what my wife and I got.
If I did have to install a roof rack, I'd probably look at one of the standard companies, partly for quality reasons and partly for fit: the last thing I'd want is some cheap rack coming off on the highway. But I'd also consider something easily removable if I didn't need it all the time, just to help with fuel economy on the highway.
Thanks. How do you like the Elantra Hybrid so far? I want a bigger hybrid, but just can't afford a RAV4 Hybrid, and would probably have to wait 5 months for one if I could.
Couple mechanics I know swear by Hyundai. Their warranty is impressive too, if the small print isn' too crazy?
