3rd row will not be phased away. The 08 Santa Fe will have third row available with Touring package on the SE and Limited trims.

Follow this link for info on all 2008 Hyundai products - looks like navigation of some sort is available on Limited models.

Interesting. Navigation is optional on Santa Fe Limited; Infinity audio system and power sunroof are standard. I can't wait to see what the nav system looks like; hopefully it can be retrofitted to my 2007 Limited.

"I can't wait to see what the nav system looks like; hopefully it can be retrofitted to my 2007 Limited."
I've got $5 that says it can. The reason I say that is that nav was an option on 2007 Santa Fes in the European market, and the way they did it was just replace the stereo head unit with one that has an LCD touch screen with built-in nav. In fact, it was a dealer-installed accessory. You can do the same thing with a U.S. market 2007 SF and any of a dozen or so models of aftermarket head units, because all 07 and up Santa Fes use standard double DIN size head units.

I certainly hope you're correct. My biggest concern is the wiring harness and the connections to the actual head unit. For 2008, in the U.S. navigation is available only on Limited models; in addition, all 2008 Limiteds will come with the Infinity audio system as standard equipment. My 2007 does not have the Infinity system. (I did, however, have new speakers and a 4-channel external amplifier installed.) I hope that this does not render it incompatible with the 2008 Infinity/Navigation head unit.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been away but I will inquire to see if rollover sensor is on the list of additions for 08.

thx -- from the media kit a few entries above, it doesn't seem to be included. I'm not sure why a highly rated car in the safety arena would neglect to have this when nearly every competitor does....is probably a deal breaker for me...

Are rollover sensors proven? They seem gimmicky to me... so that car dealers can show us a longer list of features...

I've had a hard time finding stats on them -- have asked myself the same question. They are getting fairly standard and from the safety leaders, Saab/Volvo, they're all going in their new models if they aren't all ready....when all is said and done, I guess you say, "why not" - particularly if you've got kids in the back seat like I do...
