I was reflecting on this fact the other day , and recall how Americans
at one time would turn up their noses at something that was 'Made in
Japan'  as cheap and inferior ;  my, how times have changed.  Now we

I have a 2008 Santa Fe GLS we got last July.  When we got this one, we took
it from the dealer stock.  It was a good deal, and had pretty much

Have one of these 07 Santa Fe Ltd AWD:

button.  While this is no "big" deal, in the winter it is almost
mandatory.

My 2007 Tucson has a few scratches in the plastic lining on the sides of
the luggage compartment.  I tried Armourall spray on but that didn't help.
Any suggestions as I want to clean it up for trade-in on a new Tucson.
