Fresh off the boat!
2011 Hyundai Tucson FWD, Auto, Limited w/ Premium Package (In Hyundai speak, this means fully loaded)
.
We Financed it for 4 years @ 3.29% after putting $5k down. We paid $29, 093.xx OTD. I know if we would've bought a Honda/Toyota/VW, we could've gotten a better APR because my wife has stellar credit, but Hyundai doesn't offer it.
One thing I appreciated was the fact that the Sales Manager researched rates at other lending institutions to find the best rate for us (Hyundai's best rate was 3.9%). I never experienced this before, but it was appreciated!
It's probably one of the first 2011 models sold in the U.S. and the world. We bought it this weekend for my wife. It arrived at the dealership Friday afternoon, and we went in to purchase it Saturday morning. We'd been waiting 2-3 months for Hyundai to ship more Tucsons stateside, but they happened to stop production of '10 models earlier in the year. Now Hyundai is into the next MO with these and Sonatas.
No review, since it's the wife's. But, two annoyances:
1. The front headrests are canted forward, so when you lean back into the seat, your head is still leaning forward.
2. Since the car comes with XM, the navigation kept saying "Congestion" ahead" while we were sitting in traffic. It said this literally 10x in about 30 minutes of sitting in traffic. What's more, we had to acknowledge receipt of the message by clicking the "OK" button on the touchscreen each time.
All in all, my wife's happy, and that's most important.

Nice pick up! I've been telling my co-worker to get this or a CR-V she's still torn.

I thought the Tucson was made in America? Might be FOT (fresh off train) then.
Congrats on the pickup for the wife. If mama's not happy, nobody's happy.

Sorry.
Just like the 4G TL's it sounds like. I head that was to give these cars their 5-star crash test rating. I found that i had to tilt my seat back (the entire seat back, not the back of the seat). But obviously depending on the size of the person in the car, that may not work. (It's a common gripe on the 4G forum).

It comes with navi now? 
I also see a rear-view camera! Sweet!
<-------goes to check out Hyundai's website...
Nice! Priced one at $27,990 fully-loaded, and with taxes, it would be right at what the OP paid. Hmmmm, if we ever need a replacement for my wife's 2003 Civic, this will seriously compete with the CRV we would consider.

Nice!
I heard the AWD ride is crazy rough, but that the FWD is the best suspension set-up.
