Pour One Out For The Hyundai Veracruz

The Hyundai Veracruz is no more. Hyundai’s oft-ignored big crossover will depart from the marketplace later this year, with the addition of a three-row 2013 Santa Fe. A three-row version of the previous Santa Fe was offered for a short time, but the third row compromised cargo space and offered minimal space for its occupants. The previous Santa Fe had a long life, perhaps too long. The new car should rectify the fact that the current model lagged far behind the level of overall quality and engineering that exists in current Hyundais.

    I've never consciously noticed a Veracruz on the road, for what that's worth. It wasn't ugly, gorgeous, or common enough, I guess. Hopefully the SantaFe-7 outsells it.

    Come on, Derek! That's another Crosstour, you can't fool ALL of us!

  • Namesakeone Doesn't China hold a lot of our debt? I honestly don't know, but if they do, how high will the tarriffs climb before China retaliates--by calling in that debt? And really screwing our economy like no influx of Chinese products can? Again, I don't know. If someone out there in TTACland knows better than me, please enlighten me.
  • ToolGuy I'm considering purchasing a few new Aston Martin vehicles.
  • Spamvw 13 spoke rims from a 2005 Golf, I approve, as I have them on my '02 JSW TDI that hit 480k today.
  • ToolGuy New car prices make me queasy will this help with that?
  • Kcflyer On the bright side I just saw a commercial where the army is advertising the fact that women are now part of tank crews. I'm sure the compromises necessary to put women in front line combat arms won't in any way weaken our armed forces ability to win wars in the future. But, hey, at least that new BYD SUV will cost more, thanks uncle Joe.
