2012 Hyundai Veloster
Last Updated:
Although there are still just illustrations, they give us a pretty good idea of the final production model.
We will only have to wait a few weeks to see pictures of the real thing anyway now…
This car seems really promising to me.
And maybe what the new Honda CR-Z could, or should have been.
It will be powered by a 1.6 Liter engine good for 140hp while getting at least 40MPG HWY.
A turbo version with 200hp is rumored for later.
Some prototypes have been spotted with a cool glass top. Which is not offered in the US version of the CR-Z.
Plus, not being a hybrid, it will also be cheaper.
I can’t wait to see the real thing…
That back end looks pretty barfy. Visibility is probably like looking through a spy hole in a hotel door.
Aweful. Guess I'm expecting more from Hyundai's styling department these days.
I like it except for those GIGANTIC taillights! Kinda ruins the back for me.
Is Hyundai boycotting the use of rear glass on its cars lately?
Not 'quite' as sporty as the concept, but… A Whole Lot More Practical.
Looks like another potential segment-leader from (the unstoppable) Hyundai group.
It looks to be the first turd they've done in awhile.
Doesn't look like a sporty car and at least the CR-Z does. Also the CR-Z has probably still better combined mpg. So perhaps price is better and bit more power potentially but I think the back just look ugly/weird.
The Scirocco we didn't get.
I don't know why you're so gung-ho on Hyundai lately. This is just awful. Makes the CRZ look almost normal, and that's saying a lot.
I actually like the rear of this car – it's the front I'm not a fan of. For the record, I also don't like the front of the Sonata or Tuscon…obviously a personal opinion because a lot of folks apparently like it.
Regardless – I can't see how this is going to create buzz for them, nor how it will sell. Poor visibility, looks very small, and not very practical…*shrugs* maybe its me?
Someone should give the designer hugz,,,Not drugz.
I like it. Since Honda can't seem to build a decent successor to the CRX, Hyundai will have to do it. However I would much rather see the VW Scirocco in the US than this.
Hyundai winning design streak comes to an end with this one.
