Are you talking about the Veracruz?

There is a lot more info here
2007-Veracruz
I think it is a pretty cool vehicle. They say it is bigger than the current SantaFe. It is actually based on the Azera, which I belive is a larger platform than the current Sonata

Very nice. I think the Sonata is the perfect platform!. Of course I did like the 2007 Callaway C16. Not enough HP though, what did it say 616?.

Writing from a Radisson Hotel in Los Angeles with a Sleep Number Bed!. You might have seen the commercials with Lindsay Wagner. This thing costs thousands of $$ Last time I tried the Bed, I set it to 100, the most it would go. Woke up in the Morning with a terrible backache. I will be going to sleep soon, and will set the Bed at 50. I am going through my second bought of Flu in the Month me and the Sonata have been on the Road. What a healthy Car!

That KIA is nasty looking. And is this the KIA forum now, or a sales spot for the sleep number?

We've got a Select Comfort (sleep number) bed - had it for a few years now. The trick is to put it on about 50 and lay on it then inflate it until you feel it pressing in on your lower back. Leave it there and try it for a few nights (which you might not have time to do). Then keep adjusting after that. It can take a few weeks to get the setting right. I'm a 70 myself. :57: And 100 is WAY too high.

The Rondo has been on sale for a few months. I reviewed it here:

http://www.epinions.com/content_285025537668

Functional, but bland.

I sat in a Veracruz at the auto show. I don't care for the exterior--overhangs too long and round, like a Subaru Tribeca--but the interior is VERY nice, best yet from Hyundai by quite a margin. Good styling and materials. Room in third row a bit better than in a Honda Pilot, much better than in a Tribeca. Mazda CX-9 similar in luxury and room, but should handle better.
