Funny thing is, I do a lot of research about cars so as to keep myself educated on what is out there and what is coming up.

I mostly agree with Jeremy. The veloster is an economy car with a sporty suit. Just like the CR-Z. But remebers that Jeremy thinks that Jaguars are good cars and Land Rovers are the best SUV. We know that both of them are good when new. Two years laters jaguars and land rovers doesn't worth half price and nobody want them

The link you posted doesn't say largER sway bars (indicating any sort of a change). It just says "large" sway bars. That could mean anything or nothing as compared to the base model.

I test drove one of these and thought it was terrible, it was gutless and the clutch didn't have any feel. The clutch felt as though it was just on a spring without any feel of it grabbing. Overall had higher expectations of the car and thought it was a let down.

I do like what Hyundai is trying to do and I do like the look of alot of their cars the veloster is not one of them though. Its just kinda ackward to look at. As for the suspension sure you can upgrade it but the entire point of a hot hatchback is its supposed to feel like a go kart and with crap handling it fails.
The best thing hyundai can do for itself is put a racing team together and build their own cars. I think that is the missing like. Like Clarkson says they have spent all these years building a reliable car with a good warranty and not building a fast car that can win a race. The Gen coupe is so close but it just doesn't quite cut it. I think some of the old race on sunday buy on monday thinking could really help them evolve the missing piece of their cars.
