Hyundai Veracruz?
This photo looks to be the forthcoming Hyundai Veracruz. Hyundai says that 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. Well, isn't that special?
You can compare this photo with the spy shots from Brenda Priddy by clicking here. If you're really into Hyundai, you check out John Krafcik's interview on Autoline Detroit. Krafcik doesn't dodge questions and gives a taste of future product like the upcoming RWD architecture and what that might bring to the table. The only thing missing is someone popping off about Hyundai's flip/flop on the Entourage minivan. C'Mon, you gotta ask what happened there!
Update: Thanks to Hyundai Exchange forum (registration required) for the interior shots!

Nice pic. Where were you when you saw it, and why didn't you get pics from all sides? I'm not complaining, just curious. BTW, found you via Autoblog via Inside Line. 6 degrees, don'tcha know.
