#7 of 944 Some Info by joe97 May 15, 2006 (2:26 pm)
FYI - the Mesa name is not set in stone, only a possibility. Frankly, I am not exactly sure where Edmunds/TCC got the nod this SUV would be named Mesa. For now, it's widely known as the "EN" (internal codename).   As for the luxury brand, there will be one but the timeline, still unknown at this time (a lot of rumors though). For the "EN" and the "BH" (luxury RWD sedan), based on their anticipated release timeline, there are not enough time to setup dealer network but I'd expect eventually these two cars ("EN" and "BH") will move over to the luxury brand.   As for the spy pics, the interior looks great. Kudos Hyundai!!!
#8 of 944 Kia Mesa was first out. by harrychezt May 15, 2006 (7:47 pm)

#9 of 944 forgot to add by harrychezt May 15, 2006 (7:49 pm)
thecarconnection.com also had a story on this as a Hyundai Mesa, last week, I believe.   I do not know why Mesa, since Kia introduced it over a year ago as Kia Mesa. Replies to this message: wolverinejoe80 (May 15, 2006 8:04 pm)

Replying to: harrychezt (May 24, 2006 8:25 pm) They won't release the name until August.
#14 of 944 Re: POWER? [aneesh] by mike_belknap May 26, 2006 (9:28 am)
Replying to: aneesh (May 15, 2006 2:08 pm) It is true that the vehicle will have a Lambda 3.8-liter V6 under the hood: this was confirmed last year by John Krafcik, HMA's Vice President of Product Development and Strategic Planning. He also said that they were planning a six-speed manumatic transmission for the 'ute. Output ratings are purely speculative right now, but I'd expect somewhere over 270-horsepower.   Here are some other recent shots:   BobaeDream   Mike

Replying to: harrychezt (May 24, 2006 8:25 pm) They do have the rights to the name, but I can't see them using it. People are already starting to make fun of it: "They want me to drive a table around? Hmm...."   Hyundai has also trademarked Cabrina, Veracruz, and Catalina in the US.   Hyundai Veracruz gets my vote... I would have liked Socorro best, though.   Competition is likely to come up -- here are my $0.02 concerning that:   In the US, I think its main competitors will be the GM Lambda utes, Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer; Honda Pilot, Jeep Commander, and Nissan Pathfinder. Other "moderate" competitors will likely include the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango; Chrysler Pacifica, Ford Freestyle, Lincoln MKX, Mazda CX-9, Toyota 4Runner, [new] Toyota Highlander, and Volvo XC90.   It will also be considered an alternative to minivans and certain large SUVs (e.g. Toyota Sequoia) for a number of people.   Mike
