  IIRC, the Santa Fe, since its first generation of introduction, has held an average/above average rating for depreciation. The Veracruz is in fact too new to predict its resale value but I can only think it would go up as long as Hyundai keeps its current uptrend, similarly for other vehicles in the lineup as well. CR's most recent (2007) predicted reliability rating has Hyundai at #7, FWIW.

  I dont see how the Veracruz's reliability is any more known than the GM crossover's reliability. Unless you have some type of proof that they will be problematic I don't see how you can rule them out based on future reliability if you are going to consider an unproven Hyundai. As for recalls, if I'm not mistaken Toyota had far more than GM last year.
