I think it's time to start a pool to see who correctly predicts when the '09s really do appear in the showrooms.
 
I'll take May 14.

Thanks, Inde -- Wow, so it is! I can't believe it.
Too bad, it's too little, too late. I've already bought a Mazda CX-9, and most others I know are getting either that or the Chevy Traverse.
Good luck, Hyundai.
I will say the GLS version's price is nice, and, man, anyone who doesn't mind getting a 2008 can really get an amazing deal.

I purchased a new 2008 veracruz saturday...just got back from the dealership for my extra set of keys and they had just unloaded a Liquid Silver Limited 2009...i didnt see any difference other than the wheels where chrome.....I was worried on saturday i might be getting an auto that would not be made anymore...thus my resale would probably plummet...but now not worried and the limited was pushing $38K....but with $10,200 off MSRP for my 2008 i wasnt too worried, lol

I hear ya, Jefferson. I was concerned about that too, when the VC was still high on my list.
I'd be very curious to hear just what -- if any -- other differences there are in the new 2009's?
I mean, it makes you wonder why they held off so long?
My guess is that since they are basically the same vehicle -- no major changes -- then it was simply a sales tactics to try to get as many of the overripe 2008's sold off as possible before flooding dealers with more of the same thing, only stamped with a 2009 model year.

Vibration at 70 Mph, any thought? by ls1993

My 08 VC Limited (3300 miles on it) vibrates when it reaches 70 Mph. It usually last for 5 to 10 seconds then the car comes back to its normal, smooth self. The annoying thing is most of the time when it accelarates to 70 Mph, the vibration returns.
My first thought was the wheel alignment and balance, got both of them taken care of but the problem persists. Any thought??

Quite a few variables to this problem. When you accelerate, is it a hard acceleration, a smooth slow creep up, etc. Does it shift gears after you reach 70 and it smooths out? If it goes away at speed, chances are its a drive line problem. Watch the RPMs' when it happens and see if they drop when the vibration disappears. If so, take it back and tell them exactly what you did and saw, it is the small details like this that help diagnose a problem, and no it is not normal. Try to creep up to 70 and see if you still get the vibration.

Haven't tried it on hard acceleration. My wife and I always do the slow creep up to 70 Mph (enjoying the engine smoothness). It does not shift gear at 70 Mph. I'll pay attention to the RPM next time. Thx.

One update on the 2009 Veracruz... by carshoppertx

I know that the 2009 Veracruz's will have USB ports for MP3 players. They have gotten rid of the SE model this year too. I also am having trouble locating one I want but they are out there in Texas. Dealers don't seem to have much of a selection of them though.

Driving Experience over 70 Mph by ls1993

Hi all, please kindly describe your driving experience in a Veracruz over 70 Mph.
 
I own a 2008 Veracruz Limited 2 WD with about 400 miles on the car. Enjoy the car immensely other than the steering wheel vibrates over 70 Mph. The dealer inspected the drive shaft, etc (they are OK, verified by independent mechanic) and concluded the symptomps originated from the tires and wheels. The tires and wheels have been re-balanced 4 times by Hyundai, Firestone and Les Schwab, including using the Road Force Tire Balancing System.
 
My local Hyundai service manager is very suspicious about the wheel upgrades that come with the car. Hyundai calls it "chrome clad alloy wheel", basically it is a fancy chrome cover welded/fused into alloy wheel. He is requesting Hyundai to provide either new sets of the standard Limited alloy wheels or new sets of the "upgraded wheels" so they can be installed to my car, test theam and see if the problem goes away. As of today, the rep refused to authorize the request but did not provide other alternatives.
 
Anyway, I am sure the steering wheel vibration is not normal and I'll continue to press the issue till Hyjndai fixes it.
 
It'll be nice to have fellow owners share their experiences with the car
 
Thank you
