I have to agree with you there. It is very, very plain, but atleast its not ugly IMO.

The Entourage minivan (3.8L) and the Santa Fe (3.3L) both tow 3500. If the transmission was up to it, 5000 would be nice, but I wouldn't really expect any more from it.

2007 Tahoe: 202 inches
Saturn Outlook/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave: 202 inches
Mazda CX-9: 200 inches
Ford Freestyle: 200 inches
Chrysler Pacifica: 199 inches
 
I think the Veracuz will be a bit shorter than all of the above but not by too much. Interior room should be similar. All of those crossover have FWD standard as well.
 
Hopefully, Hyundai can keep the weight down, like the Freestyle so performance will remain good. The Pacifica is a bit of a porker at 4500lbs FWD and 4700lbs AWD, and the GMC Acadia is worse at 4700lbs FWD and 4900lbs AWD.

I believe this is true. They are working on a crossover loosely based on the Fairlane concept from the 2005 Detroit Auto Show.
 

 
I think it will probably look a bit like the Edge in the end though, but it will share some of the more innovative design features. (Atleast I hope so ) Ford is not using Fairlane as the name for this vehicle either.

Veracruz at Autoweek by seanmcculley

Autoweek has a spy shot and brief description: "Hyundai, already awash in cars and sport/utility vehicles carrying names from the American West (Santa Fe, Tucson, Tiburon), will dip south of the border for Veracruz as the name of its 2007 seven-seat, three-row midsize ute. Veracruz is a Mexican resort city and port on the Gulf of Mexico. 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.” Power comes from a 3.8-liter V6 with an automatic six-speed transmission and awd will be on the option list. Look for the Veracruz to compete with Honda Pilot, Nissan Murano, Subaru’s Tribeca and the Lexus RX350."
 
Here's the link for pics (its a long one!):

GMC Acadia Overall length: 201.1 Wheelbase: 118
Saturn Outlook Overall length: 200.7 Wheelbase: 118
Buick Enclave Overall length: 202.3 Wheelbase: 118
Mazda CX-9 Overall length: 199.6 Wheelbase: 113
Hyundai Veracruz Overall length: 19? Wheelbase: 113?
Ford Freestyle Overall length: 199.8 Wheelbase: 113
Chrysler Pacifica Overall length: 198.9 Wheelbase: 116
 
For Reference:
2007 Chevy Tahoe Overall length: 202 Wheelbase: 116
 
One difference between the Ford Explorer is the prescence of a real 4x4 system and, of course, the body-on-frame construction. Those are the differences in weight between the Explorer and GM CUV's.
 
All the upcoming CUV's (CX-9, Veracruz, GM Products) are going to be very competitive as far as power and size. The Mazda will probably be the lightest and most agile, the GM products will be the roomiest, and the Hyundai will definitely be the cheapest. The real question is what kind of "real world" gas mileage each will get.
