I would say it's a Cadillac or Buick. I can't name the exact model......
Hyundai Veracruz. Great interior.
I was close, I guessed Hyundai Sante Fe off the top of my head, but clarkma5 is right. It's the Veracruz
Aye, clarkma beat me to it. The only other RX350 imitator is the Edge and this pic is missing the Ford family radio.
I actually recognized it as being from the Hyundai family but didn't know the specific model. A lot of Hyundais have the vertical air vents alongside the head unit.
i'm like dilettante... it definital looks hyudai, but I wouldnt not have been able to tell you which cuv/suv it would have came out of
Mazda?
i guess i'm a dork, because i instantly knew it was the veracruz..that center stack has been shown in the LT blog and I've sat in one to compare to an RX350, so it was easy
I initially thought it might be a Hyundai because of those climate control knobs, but I saw the long vents and the steering wheel's large central region and felt that was buick- or Cadillac-like.... :(
I'll say Hyundai Sonata.
Check the Top 3 article for the answer...hint: some of you folks are correct.

Am I the only one that doesn't like it? Before I started reading the comments, it seemed cheesy. When BA said Caddy or Buick, I thought he was crazy. GM would never put anything like that in a Caddy or Buick. Maybe a Pontiac.
I don't want to knock the interior too much. It's not bad. It's just nothing special.
