Default 2008 Hyundai Veracruz

From The Car Connection

"Hyundai recently announced the name of their ninth vehicle to join their 2007 model-year lineup-and we have exclusive, clearest, latest pictures of the new Veracruz.

According to Hyundai's press release, the Veracruz will be larger than Honda Pilot, have more cargo volume than the full-size Mercedes-Benz GL and offer sleek styling, a car-like ride and premium features.

The Veracruz will be equipped with the "Hyundai Hideaway" foldable third-row seats to accommodate a total of seven passengers, and a 3.8-liter V-6 with an automatic six-speed transmission. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) will be standard, and all-wheel drive will be offered as an option.

Hyundai sees the competition as being the upper mid-size crossovers including the Pilot, Nissan Murano, Subaru's Tribeca and the Lexus RX350."

Saweeeet!

Hyundai is going to take over the world, i swear. We are making some of the best cars you can buy right now, most importantly, EVERYONE can buy one. Its not some rich ass BMW. Hyundai will take over the world i think. I keep seeing more and more of the newer ones out there, and less and less hondas and toyotas.

hyundai copies other people's designs way to much. looks like the rear of the car was lifted off a bmw x5. With rising gas prices and global energy demands soaring does the world need another suv. :ermm:

HUH? I have noooo idea where you see this similarity. :ermm: If anything, I'd say the back looks like the Subaru B9 Tribeca...except without the freaky hump-type thing...lol.
