Holy Crank-cases, Batman, we have a mutiny on our hands. That good, huh? My wife was steamed at me when we bought the Libby because the local Kia dealer was practically giving away their SUV's at the end of the Summer (they make a Sportage and something else on the Santa Fe chassis).
My argument was. "But honey, it's a Diesel, and diesel's are so releable. Besides, it's a JEEP!"
Hmmmm
Can you put a lift on a Sante Fe?
I don't think so, at least not a real one. The Santa Fe is built on the Sonata platform. So, it's one of those "cute-'utes" basically a grocery getter.
I think in '08??? they will be built in Alabama along with the new Sonata.
Don't get e wrong. They still have some "cheap" feeling interior parts. I can't put my finger on it just that they ain't not Toyota... nor do they have the Toyota price.
I have heard that the Libby has some "cheap" feeling interior parts too.... I didn't find that to be true. But, I was accustomed to the Sonata.
