I haven't seen one in Florida yet. I still buzz around West Palm Beach Delivering Pizza on the weekends and can't wait for it to warm up a little to start doing some road trips.

I saw my first ET yesterday afternoon. Silver ET GLS with roof rails heading down I-95 from Stuart towards West Palm Beach. Very cool.

I also just hit 9,000miles and planning on a road trip from FL to NC for Spring Break in March. My pizza delivery days are behind me since the day job looks stable. So I gotta do something to keep my tires rolling

Default Touring Sightings

We saw our third Touring here in Las Vegas today. A Vivid Blue ET. That makes 4, counting my wife's Carbon Gray '09.

Our dealer said he is allotted 3 Tourings per month and they are gone as soon as they are delivered. With only two Hyundai dealers in 'Vegas, Tourings are 'rare' around here.

I saw 4 ET's today. 2 of them were 09's and two 10's, they are easily distinguishable by the roof rails..and all were in the Berkeley, SF and Emeryville areas.

Not all 20010's have the roof rails. While they are standard on the SE they are optional on the base GL. So not every Touring without roof rails will be an a 2009, it could be a 2010 base model.

I saw one today.
I waved at the lady driving it. I think she thought I was a nut. She gave me the finger and speed away.
She must have been renting it because a true Touring owner has a better personality.

I see the light. Thanks for that Nova.

Do the 2010 base models have alloy wheels? If not, then my previous assumption was likely the correct one.

Do you see an usefulness in attaching an aftermarket spoiler to the ET? Perhaps better aerodynamics or something to that effect?

No, base model Tourings have plastic hubcaps but aluminum wheels are optional so in theory, you could have a base 2010 Touring with aluminum wheels and no roof rack.

The spoiler is probably mostly just cosmetic.
