Yes, i did too.. The way i read that is "One of" gift.

I might borrow a demo i20 for a week and flog the guts out of it and see if I get a free personalised SanteFe for my efforts!

Yes, it is a gift, but Hyundai would be missing a trick for marketing of the motorsport team if they don't consider that the motorsport fan would be interested.

Subaru did it with the McRae,  The Catalunya, The Terzo, RB5 (Richard Burns) and The Solberg WR1 edition Imprezas.

Mitsubishi had a range of Tommi Makkinen limited editions from the Lancer GSRIII upwards.

Ford have a massive history of limited edition cars to celebrate their motorsport successes, most lately the Focus ST & RS and currently the Fiesta ST.

Toyota did it with Celica.

You can currently get a hot Polo, VW are not missing the trick of the success of the Polo R WRC.

Surely only a matter of time before there is an i20 something????
