The shop changed the plugs and filter. So far works great!

yeah - 4cyl engines really react badly even if only 1 plug goes bad...
#9 of 36 Should the updated Theta II engine replace the 2.7 V6 by flc2006

It is speculated that the Santa Fe base engine will be the 2.4 liter Theta II which has estimated horsepower of 175-180 plus hpshould the 2.7 liter V6 be replaced by this engine Yes or no?
The 2.4 in my opinion has great advantages like timing chain, plus better fuel economy, easier to maintain.

I think Hyundai should. Here is what I would like to see:
Fact: the next coupe will have 2.0L turbo four (rumored around 223hp) and 3.8L V6 (300hp+) (2.7L V6 removed)
Speculation: the Tuscon redesign should come with 4 cylinder only (2.7L V6 removed)
Speculation: I know Santa Fe's 2.7L V6 is there mainly to keep the price low but I think Hyundai should offer only the 3.3L V6 on the SF.

they could go to an 8cyl too! and have a 4x4 optional driveline with the 8... 300hp is nice on the 6 tho'!

Not a chance, at least in the crossover lineup. If anything, it would be Veracruz, but the diesel variant is coming over to the North American market in a few years. I can see the coupe with V8 but why when the V6 produces upwards in the 300hp range. Hyundai could, however, with 400hp output in the coupe

The Santa Fe needs a diesel. I understand that the Elantra and Sonata will get a diesel option for '09 or '10. Why not the Santa Fe?

The Elantra and Sonata are getting diesels in '09/'10? It's expensive to have a diesel engine that passes emissions (around $5000), and both the Elantra and Sonata already get good mileage. EPA rates Sonata as the best mileage Large car and the Elantra gets 25/33 mileage, the best in its class for a non-hybrid. Adding a diesel to a larger SUV makes sense, but for these? Not so much!
