It shouldn't be 11K less than RX350, it should be 11K, and even then I wouldn't sit in one to take a dump into, never mind driving one.

Someone mentioned the Rav4 as being $11,000 cheaper as well. Then again, the Rav4 doesn't have an interior like this.

cockpit looks like a marriage between a RX and some sort of Honda minivan.
but the rear independent AC (and audio?) controls are impressive.

looks like a good bang for the buck, but assuming the showed pics are top of the line trim level, I'd still take a Murano.

Some of you guys neeed to stop. Give props to Hyundai. They have truly stepped their game up. It will take a while for them to be taken seriously but looking at these cars they're pumping out, they are on their way. ....and that interior is lovely.

i like the interior too, but red leather, fake wood trim, silver trim, and blue LED is a little too much for me.

That thing looks awful. In my opinion their designs look old
even though they are new. Their quality has come a long way,
but I still wouldn't touch one with a 20ft pole.

God I never realized how awful the Rav4 interior looks. Give me the Veracruz's interior over the Rav4.

But why is the Veracruz of all things being compared to the Rav 4? Those two won't even be cross-shopped. The Highlander is a closer comparison to the Veracruz:



And to be fair ... here's a better picture of the Rav 4's interior (with Navi, available in Europe)
