Hyundai Veloster
Been waiting on this car to hit the market and see some real performance numbers. I had planned on buying one before I bought the Fiesta, but they were delayed for months because of a strike over in Korea. Well, Car and Driver got thier hands on a new Veloster for a review. Seems it turns out to be a bit of a dissapointment. It is not as fast as I thought it would be, Sure I wasn't expecting it to be a rocket with a 138 hp 1.6L, but i thought it would be faster than our Fiestas. And it is. but not so much. I'm really surprised at the low top speed. Same as our Fiestas. I'm guessing weight has something to do with it. It is 100-200 lbs heavier than the Fiesta. Heavier once it came to market from the prototype. Same thing happened to the Chevy Sonic. I love the looks and the price is good (Hyundai has it on thier website now so you can "build it", but seems it doesn't drive as good as it looks. I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes though on it's price and looks alone.

I could have sworn other pictures looked better... the back is waaaay too squashed looking. I mean it could be worse (Versa)...
