For this vehicle? If so, I'll change the title!

Yep, this thread title should be "2007 Hyundai VeraCruz." Thanks!

I have a feeling this would be 2008MY for some markets, US for one (given production starts late this year - to the best of my knowledge)

I'm pretty sure it will be, at the least, longer than the Pilot. It's supposed to have a pretty long wheelbase, so passenger room should be pretty nice. IMHO, the 4x4 system probably won't be that different than the Santa Fe (light duty, but more of a safety device rather than an off-roading system). My guess on MSRP is like 24-25k, being that the Santa Fe starts at close to 21k. That would be 2-3k less than the competition. I think that's about where Hyundai likes to be.
 
Of course, I'm just speculating on this. Mike will probably come out with some much better information later.

with the size of the Trailblazer, which, to me, seems a little smaller than the Explorer...
 
How do the Veracruz and the new Santa Fe compare in terms of size to the Trailblazer's length and width???

My guess is that the VeraCruz will be about 4 or 5 inches longer than a standard trailblazer, but shorter than the EXT version. It will probably be wider and lower to the ground than the trailblazer too. I think it will be about the size of the upcoming Mazda CX-9.
 
The trailblazer is bigger the Santa Fe by about 7 inches overall, but they are the same width.
 
The main functions of the Santa Fe and VeraCruz will be moving people comfortably, stylishly, and affordably. The trailblazer is more of a true utility, with it's higher tow rating and heavier frame.
 
The biggest difference between them is gas mileage. The trailblazer guzzles fuel. It's just a heavy vehicle.

The name has now been officially announced by Hyundai: it will be called the Veracruz -- no capital "C."

Here is the press release Mike referred to:

All-New 2007 Veracruz Continues Hyundai's Geographic Naming Convention
 
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters, serene beaches and Mexico's grandest port -- all reminiscent of the Mexican state and the meaning behind the latest addition to the Hyundai lineup: Veracruz.
     
The ninth vehicle to join Hyundai's 2007 model year lineup, the midsize 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. Veracruz will also feature as standard equipment the Hyundai Hideaway(TM) third-row seat, a simple-to-use 50/50 split fold-into-the-floor seat, offering flexibility for up to seven passengers.
     
Equipped with a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission, Veracruz will offer an unprecedented combination of styling, safety, comfort and convenience including available all-wheel drive, standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), standard side-airbags, as well as side-curtain airbags for all three rows of passengers.
     
Veracruz will compete primarily with upper midsize crossovers including Honda Pilot, Nissan Murano, Subaru B9 Tribeca and Lexus RX350.
