    Don't know about the Tucsons but the sante fe has been listed as a top SUV for years. One son has an '11 and he and his wife does NO maintenance until something happens, drives cars into the ground, and they have no problems after 78,000 miles.

    Listen, I certainly would be driving something else if I could afford it just saying this sonata doesn't want to die.

    Yea that's right, they would have him in jail the rest of his life.

    As for baggers I really am liking my new CVO Ultra, seems to be working out very well and handles way better than my 2012 did. If I want a quick handling bike I'll just get that old Triumph Trophy out. :)

    the vision is more like the wingers or BMW bikes , the cross country is more in line with HD & Indian tested ,if I ever decide to buy another new bike I'll look at the cross country real hard ,I've been riding Harleys since I was in the Army 69-72 ,yes the HD is a cool bike & ride good But the victory is good compation to them A bit cheaper & lighter & more then enough power for me
    PS my wifes on her second KIA Sorento only reason she let the first one go was it was a 6 spd & she has RA & its setting in her right elbow so she went to a auto trans last year & the 4 banger will haul my small bike trailer at 70-75 no problem at all & get 28 mpg on the hwy

    Yeah I can see where the XCT would be doable. A little to angular looking for me. Thats kinda what separates it from the HD appearance wise.

    I prefer HD of course, but if I had to get a different one, probably a Victory Cross Tour or Indian Bagger, probably the Indian...

    Just got the April issue of American Iron which has a review of the 2015 HD Street Glide Special which looks pretty sweet and the Victory Magnum X 1 which I think is really ugly...The HD is priced from $20,599.00 - $22,899.00 and the Victory at $24,500.00

    Just my opinion: Too many Street Glides out on the streets.
