The other day I was talking to my buddy James about the new SUV he’s thinking about buying. As we discussed his needs, I suggested he check out a Hyundai. “Dude, really – A HYUNDAI?” he questioned.
It’s tough to get away from your past – just ask Danny Bonaduce. Never mind that several independent ratings agencies place Hyundai’s quality above other brands that are still riding the coattails of reputations built long ago. That’s why we’re here to remind you of a few cars, trucks and SUVs that might have fallen off your radar screen, but they haven’t fallen off ours. We call them 5 Under the Radar All-Star Cars and they’re worth your consideration even if you haven’t thought of them recently (or don’t know much about them). Some of these cars remind us of NBA players who don't get as much attention as they might deserve.
Crossover: 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
Speaking of Hyundai, I could put several of their cars on the list, but to me, the Veracruz is the perfect example. It delivers interior styling that looks like it’s straight out of a Lexus and engine performance that rivals some sports cars. And it seats up to seven passengers. The Veracruz is like the Tim Duncan of SUVs. He’s not as flashy as Shaq. He doesn’t have the outside game of Nowitzki. He doesn’t get to play in front of the Hollywood elite like Bynum and Gasol. What he does have is four NBA Championships, two MVP trophies , a Rookie-of-the-Year award and a dozen all-star appearances, and is quietly one of the top 15 NBA players of all time. For Hundai drivers in the know, the Veracruz is a sleeping giant. My advice: don’t sleep on the Veracruz. It’s worth your attention.
