Hyundai seems to be all over the place on what they consider to be eligible for the competitive vehicle.
e.g. I received this note from Hyundai Consumer affairs after I got tired being jerked around by a few dealers on the competitive rebate:

However, on the burnshyundai.com site, they post the following info regarding the competitive rebate
"Prices shown reflect all applicable rebates including $500 owner loyalty rebate on 2011 Sonata, $1500 owner loyalty rebate on Azera, $1500 owner loyalty/competitive rebate on Genesis sedan and $1000 owner loyalty/competitive rebate on Genesis Coupe - (must be a registered owner of a Hyundai or an immediate family member living in the same household for owner loyalty rebate.
Must be a currently registered owner of any vehicle other than a Hyundai or Kia for competitive rebate). Low APR financing may not be combined with these rebates/selling prices."
The burns hyundai language is consistent with what nhparks posted in the prices paid forum.
