I've been lurking here for quite a while and have driven the 3.8 a few times at a few dealerships. Yesterday I was finally able to drive a 4.6 (two hour drive to the dealership) and I'm set on picking one up. I do have a couple of questions though.
First (question for any dealers on here), I got into a slight argument with the sales manager at the dealership regarding the "Dealer Vehicle Locator". I'm looking for a 4.6 Titanium Gray/Saddle. When he selected the drop-down, that combination wasn't there, so he said it won't be available in that combination. After going back and forth (Hyundai's website has the option to choose that color combination), he got on the phone with District and found out that the combination is still on the sheets, but he still insisted that the Vehicle Locator will always show all combinations even if there's no stock. Finally, I asked him about the white combinations since they were also not on the list. I asked him to look up 3.8's and both the white combinations were there as well as my combination (Gray/Saddle). My question is regarding the Hyundai Vehicle Locator. Does it self-populate the colors based on what's currently available in the US, or is there some other reason that the white combos and the gray/saddle combo do not show up when searching for 4.6's?
Secondly, would Hyundai have a color combination availble for the 3.8 but not for the 4.6? Could they actually decide to come out with Gray/Saddle in the 3.8 but not for the 4.6? I suspect that the issue is just current lack of availability, but I wanted to verify that before waiting for or attempting to order my color combo.
Lastly, I'm on the NW Florida panhandle. It seems this area is severely limited in stock, and potentially limited in quality dealerships. Does anyone have a recommendation on a dealership in this area? 200 miles would get me most of southern Alabama and even over to Slidell, LA, so I can cover a good bit of area if I needed to.
Thanks!

I believe we actually have a direct flight to Tampa from here.
