2nd Opinion – Beamesderfer

Another crossover? Yep and an ambitious vehicle at that. Hyundai is looking potential buyers of the Lexus RX 350 square in the eye and saying the Veracruz is a better value because it has all the RX goodness and a lower price. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Lexus should feel pretty good because the Veracruz is a very good copy, right down to the mood lighting and illuminated “Veracruz” on the door sills. While our test vehicle was a 2007, Hyundai says the only difference between the ’07 and the ’08 is the availability of a navigation system.
