Replying to: mjb56 (Jul 04, 2007 11:05 am) Agree totally on the RAV4 seats. Even though the new RAV is supposedly an American design the seats seem designed around the 90th percentile Japanese person. And they retained the goofy wrong-way hinged cargo door, what's up with that?? In some ways Hyundai seems to "get" the American market better than Toyota, which bodes well for their future success.
#11 of 11 NO FAMILY RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN VERACRUZ & SANTA FE by sduff68 Jul 06, 2007 (9:42 am)
I recently purchased a Santa Fe SE. It was the near luxury feel of the Santa FE and the luxury appearance that really sold me on it. Not to mention the firm (but not harsh) ride, the quietness, and the absolute beauty of the vehicle. To me at least the two cars do not have an ounce of family resemblance. To me the Santa Fe actually resembles the new Buick Enclave more than it resembles the Veracruz. Now that you think of it, the Tucson, Santa Fe and Veracruz don't look alike either. Kinda makes you wonder if Hyundai is doing this on purpose in order to appeal to different people with their three SUVs. The Veracruz appeals to people who were cross shopping the RX 350, or Acura MDX, but so does the Santa Fe Limited. Maybe Hyunda is smarter than I thought...only time will tell.
