Too bad more companies don't have guts to put color in their paint.

In reply to ProDarwin :
It is a bit strange that they didn't just import the equivalent i series hatchback that they sell in the rest of the world.
The Veloster looks better though.
And I'm just sitting here and waiting for the mid-engine RWD N-car they promised me.
I've read reports that the new Elantra also gets an N variant soon (not to be confused with a N-Line which also exists).
Gone is the manual trans, unfortunately. They do get the new wet clutch DCT, though. But no manual makes me sad.
EDIT: That news outlet that said the manual was gone was wrong. There WILL be a 6-speed manual offered. Nice.

i30 N with a manual trans, please. Veloster just seemed like a bunch of odd compromises leading to a less than great car. Odd for oddness sake, but odd conceived by committee.
In reply to bobzilla :
Yep, I was wrong with the no manual thing. That site I got the info from (a clickbaity car site that came up on my phone's news app) said DCT only. Dead wrong.
Question RE: Veloster compromises. Perhaps I am not seeing them because I had one so I am blind to them, but what are the compromises it has vs. the I30, aside from the lack of a 4th door?
In reply to pointofdeparture :
I was just thinking this. I like the second gen veloster more than the early ones because they look more sedated to me. Elantra N would be great. Looks like a Korean GTi

and as you can imagine I am frothing at the mouth right now.

My wife has a '17 Veloster, I have a '13 Elantra GT. That's pretty much the biggest difference. The EGT has a lower hatch opening and the second door on the driver's side. I do prefer her Veloster to my EGT, but I think I can fix my gripes about my car with Veloster parts.
