Hyundai Plant Tour

[sandy]

We're on our way home to Ct. from Miami and try to make interesting stops along the way. Last Thursday we took the Hyundai plant tour in Montgomery, Ala. It was quite an experience. Opened just a few years ago, it is state of the art. Rolls of steel and truckloads of part go in one end and beautiful Sonatas and Santa Fe's are driven out the other end. At the rate of up to 300,ooo vehicles annually. The 4 and 6 cylinder motors are made on site. Robots, robots, robots everywhere, doing everything from painting, welding, windshield installation, crankshaft balancing, etc Much more interesting than the Callaway Gardens I had to tour the following day as part of the deal with my wife.

Sounds interesting. Can you walk in off the street or do you have to call ahead for reservations?

I believe reservations are required. I've thought about stopping several times on our trips to LA to visit the wife's family. Here's the online info:

Reservations are required and can be done on-line. ttsig has posted the site on which you can make your reservation. The tour takes about 90 minutes, is very well done and also gives you a chance to check out the new Sonata.
