I need to watch this over the weekend. SWMBO is interested in a Veloster as her next DD...although she has never been in one or driven one.

wait 2-3 years and these will be sub-$10k cars with 20-40k miles on them. That's a stupid great deal.

I would like to see this paired against the FiST or FoST in a head to head.

the current weight champion (and still a great budget car) is the fiat 500 abarth. While it only has 165hp, it is 2500 pounds

Still waiting for a R-Spec to show up at the local dealers.  I don't understand why they pushed this model in the early media reviews yet they aren't available yet, where the other models are.  :-(
