The Hyundai Veloster wasn"t a huge success in the UK. Seems we"re too conservative to properly lap up a coupe-hatch thingy with two doors on one side, and a single door on the other. More"s the pity, really. While the Veloster lacked firepower on hot hatch rivals, it had a chassis more able than you"d expect and some genuine character. The US lapped them up. The US therefore gets a second-generation car, a whole seven years after the original, a sign it must have been doing something right. The body shape is largely identical yep, the doors remain but there"s been a tidy up of the styling, with new lights, grilles and bumpers that give it a fresh but still familiar look.
