Does anyone have this particular combination out there? The reason I ask is that I've tried to find one, and been told that they can't get it that way. Sounds like BS to me, but I have to assume they have quit putting together the 2006 models to get a head-start on the 2007 edition, so - it's likely that there just isn't one left unsold anywhere. :surprise:
I don't mind waiting another couple of months because I figure since the '07 will likely be exactly like the '06 with maybe addition of available navigation and possibly bluetooth and I'm really hoping for HID low-beams - I figure the price isn't going to change much, and other than the HID lamps, I'm not really interested in navi and don't need the handsfree phone since I already have a BT headset and phone, can't really see the need for sat radio, either. You would think since all the euro-delivered models already have HID standard it wouldn't be much of a trick to make that available here in the states, eh? Obviously, there has to be room for the ballast and the wiring is already in place (look at your fuse box and you will find a 'missing' HID fuse...). :shades:
I also got a $50 test-drive certificate by e-mail yesterday, so - anybody out there that hasn't checked their e-mail might want to look. (of course, I guess if you've already made your purchase, you're not going to get one of those) It is good for a $50 "cash card" usable at Amazon.com, Best Buy or Home Depot. It's also aimed at both potential Azera and Sonata buyers, so test-driving either (or the '07 Entourage) is good to get it validated. I think I'll have to drive another! :P
Unfortunately they are custom made with your name, address and e-mail address imbedded in them, so there is no way to share the wealth...
Thank you
Go to HUSA and build one with BS and BL, it's there.
Get on the web, locate dealers in your area up to 100 miles away. Send e-mail describing what 'YOU WANT' and ask for OTD pricing. It will be worth the wait.
I've been to numerous Hyundai forums, see some familar names at all forums and have yet to find anyone with a complain of any kind that would be a concern. This just confirms that Hyundai been building some reliable transportation and that is alright with me. Also, haven't been able to find an unhappy owner, what does this mean???
I think the reason you can't find an 'unhappy owner' is that there aren't any. Fabulous car and features for the money - no one else even comes close to the equipment in a Limited / Ultimate for under $30,000! :shades:
Bingo! You just asked the $64 question. I ordered up an Azera sales brochure online and the third page has a photograph of the bare cylinder block. The three cylinders in each bank are "siamesed" and the block is an "open" design - the full coolant jacket is open to the mounted cylinder head. But, it's not entirely clear in the strong shadow photograph whether there's a cast-in or pressed-in seperate iron cylinder liner. If not, that's not necessarily a deal buster in my opinion. High silica content aluminum that's been acid etched after machining to expose the hard silica crystals is a common and reliable practice now (earlier disastrous results with the Chevy Nova's sleeveless aluminum engine in 1971 notwithstandng).
If you only drive one block to work and back would make me wonder if that is part of the problem :confuse:
Nice background, desert southwest I presume???

A note on mileage. I filled up, reset the computer and for the first 1/4 tank, averaging 17mph, was getting 13-14 mpg. I was leadfooting off the line also. Mixed city/hwy averaging 35 mph I get 17-18 mpg. Freeway is around 27-28 mpg. Just my experience.
This car is fun to drive and fast. I haven't had any issues and am beyond 2200 miles. The ride does feel a bit hard and by that I mean when I roll over lumps and bumps, you can hear them. Overall, very satisfied with purchase and would be hard pressed to find anything with so much for the price. Hyundai needs to add the fold down reverse mirrors though and add more stereo controls to the steering wheel.
You would think they would fix that one thing, especially if you look at the layout of the '07 Santa Fe steering wheel: absolutely perfect. On/off/mute volume up/down and search/seek up/down (or forward/reverse). :shades:
Hyundai Azera Wins AutoPacific 2006 Vehicle Satisfaction Award for Large Cars – Also Top-Ranked Car: "The satisfaction results for the all-new Hyundai Azera prove that Hyundai is serious about selling top class products. In its first year on the market, Azera achieves not only a class win, but is the highest scoring passenger car ahead of vaunted Premium Luxury Cars like the Lexus LS, Jaguar XJ and Mercedes S-Class. The fact that these cars are twice the price of an Azera is just icing on the cake."
Jaguar XJ, base price, $62,495
Mercedes S class, base price, $86,175
Azera, base price, $27,495 :shades:
Tell me, who do ya love???
$26,835 Limited trim base
Not saying the others are not over priced as I think they are, but not in the same league.
2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2014 BMW 428i convertible, 2015 Honda CTX700D
Thanks
This should get you started
but is the HIGHEST SCORING PASSENGER CAR :shades: ahead of vaunted Premium Luxury Cars LIKE the
Lexus LS, $57.2K
Jaguar XJ, $62.5K
Mercedes S-Class, $86.2K
The fact that these cars are twice the price of an Azera is just icing on the cake
Snake, gotta admit, I kinda sorta agree with you, but the article says things like;
CLASS WIN
HIGHEST SCORING PASSENGER CAR
ahead of vaunted Premium Luxury Cars
Less my lobotomy fails me, I'm thinking the Azera was measured against these cars and kicked some serious tukus.
I obviously could be wrong :confuse:

This will keep very long URLs from skewing the page to the right, making the page difficult to read for all.
Thanks!
I still have not been able to find a kit with a color that matches the oem trim.

The URL
http://www.wardsautoworld.com/2006Mahle.pdf
lists the block, head, and cylinder liners for many engines. The 3.8 L Lambda has no cylinder liner, but it's in good company including aluminum block, liner-less engines from, GM, Volvo, Ford, Isuzu, Nissan, Porsche, Suzuki, and Toyota.
