I thought the Veloster was being discontinued but this came up in my You tube feed today...

I wouldn't say that's a good review, everything he picked/disliked were a similar opinion to my own except the ghastly blue highlights on the interior  :sicky: the rear end of the Veloster has always been ugly as well imo.

I actually liked the blue highlights!  :eek: :-[

Always thought this had an ugly rear and i see this one isn't improved or redesigned. It feels like a missed opportunity to give a true sporty offering, I expect it won't be around long term in its current form - i'd be surprised if it was.

The Genesis Coupe is much nicer and better performing, but not available in Oz (or NZ) as far as I know. :cool:

Thanks for the link Craig. Hyundai still needs to work on their "gas" mileage although I do realise they have smaller US gallons...

The interior colour choices are a bit bland. Highlights would be nice.  :undecided:

I don't think they're to bothered with the mileage as the Genesis is released as a performance vehicle and the engine mods available in the US are bumping these things straight up to 500+hp.

Yet the Veloster is regularly up near the pointy end when it comes to sport car sales in Australia so there must be plenty of people out there that do like the Veloster's quirky styling.....  :undecided:
