Veloster is the sixth vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative (seven new models in 24 months), on the heels of the all-new Tucson, Sonata, Equus, Elantra and the all-new Accent. The 2012 Veloster poses some intriguing questions:
- Why can’t a sporty coupe get 40 miles per gallon?
- Why can’t a car have the same connectivity as portable electronic devices?
- Why does coupe design dictate only two doors?
- Why can’t an affordable coupe offer premium features?
Why can’t Hyundai have two coupes – a playful front-wheel drive model targeting the likes of Mini Cooper and Scion tC to complement the sport-focused, rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe?
