......new train of thought, the Santa Fe shares a platfrom with the Sonata correct, does this lead to the logical step of an AWD Sonata, or has that subj already been covered.

Naw, you could do an awd sonata..or an awd Tiburon...or an AWD accent. You just have to have the $$$ for the fabrication work!

true money cures all i was reading february's turbo and high Tech tuner and they did a spread on the Nuforms Focus (something like 900+ whp)
Anyway the gear box in that thing cost $100,000 and they needed 2, thats $200,000 (i know i'm a math whiz)for a couple gear boxes not to mention the other parts/time/fabrication/install/eating.
anyway gone off topic i'm done
