Spied 2012 hyundai veloster on public roads
During the last tumultuous year the auto industry has been forced to start and stop projects with abnormal frequency – and recently word was that the Veloster was likely on the “stop” list.

That eclipse is the absolute worst car I have ever been in.
I had a feeling this car would look like shjt and from what I can tell it does. Framed doors, you gotta be joking. It looks like a Yaris combined with a Fiat 500. Its a step backward, if not for fuel economy, for the image. I thought we were getting an i30 sports car, but when he mentioned CRX I knew it was gonna suck.

I don't think the production model will have the huge flares that make the concept resemble the Eclipse. If it does, that's a bit on the awesome side because it will probably only be the size of an Accent. It'll have entirely different road presence than the Eclipse, which looks, feels, and is a big car.
It looks a lot like the Honda CR-Z (which makes perfect sense) in proportion anyways. I don't mind either car's packaging, but I hate the nose on the CR-Z concept. No idea what either production car will look like though.

yeah it is not the veloster. the veloster at the show had a curve on the back part of the window. the one on the road is completely square.

The production version will likely look a lot different than the concept, I think they said it'll look about 70-80% the same as the concept.
