    It does look way better than when I first saw it in green. Although I don't know how that is meant to be family friendly where as the Golf GTi is.

    [edit] Of course the green one was the non turbo version.

    Saw the n/a version at a nearby dealer on the weekend. It looked fantastic. It made the new Scirocco, similar colour parked 100m away, look boring. But being a Hyundai the ride and handling will probably be worse than a Corolla and the gearshift feel like stirring yoghurt.
    If you dig a hole and it is in the wrong place, digging it deeper isn't going to help.

    Gotta admire them for making something special instead of just "some car" - not sure if that one entirely appeals to me though. I prefer the inconspicuous styling of the Golf, so I only become conspicuous if I put the foot down.

    If anyone doesn't want to be embarrassed by a Hyundai they better visit an APR dealer (or other equivalent) soon.

    Or they could just import the Hyundai Genesis and we would all have a cheap sportscar.

    I saw a heap of these while I was in the USA over the last few weeks. A friend of mine has a 2L non turbo, but having heard the sound of both the 2L turbo and V6 sound amazing. I would consider one if they were released over here, and I love the look of the Veloster.

    It would end up being around 50k, at that point, might as well go buy a 370z at 60k.
