I`ll have to admit changing the oil on the 2.7 sucks, the filter is underneath and your arm gets covered with oil when you take out the old filter
Where is the filter? I was looking at a 2.7 today and couldn't find it; not sure if it's hidden by the under engine panel. Is it in front of the block or to the rear of the block? Thanks.

The sales people at the autoshow this past week did not even know that the 08's weren't in stock yet. They also thought the santa fe had aux mp3 jack. Which we all know they don't. Don't know why they put people in those shows that don't their product.
That being said we still like the santa fe. But wish they knew their own product.

I don't know specifically about Orlando, but the people who work most of the auto shows (including the one that I go to in San Francisco) aren't actually employed by the manufacturers they represent and they definitely aren't sales people. The people who work the shows work for outside marketing firms that are contracted by the manufacturers to work the shows. You're correct that they usually know quite little about they vehicles they're trying to represent. They're given small amounts of information that will help them fool most of the showgoers; it's not at all unusual, though, that a showgoer would know more than them about the car they're representing.

They're even showing some with navigation as being in transit. Could it be that navigation is actually available NOW? (It was speculated here that it would not actually be available on Santa Fes until later in the model year.)
There's something strange in their '08 pricing. Some are shown as being priced around $1000 under invoice while others are priced roughly $700 over invoice. I can't see any pattern; the ones whose numbers I looked at are all 2008 Limited AWDs.

The oil filter is just off to the side of the serpentine belt, towards the rear of the belt, it is covered by a plastic shield which needs to be taken off to remove the filter. I`ll bet the person that dreamed up this location is only let out on weekends for good behavior, ha,ha.

Some where on hyundaidealer.com is a training video on the Veracruz/SF navi system. Teaches you how to use it. I wish I had access to it.

For goodness' sake -- no wonder I couldn't find it. Thanks for the help.

When I was at the autoshow they showed 08's at around 700.00 more as far as MSRP then 07's. This is just the MSRP price though.
