^ wonder when they'll launch that.
Did you notice the back hatch detail?
Can you see what's different to the production model?
I'm sure the real Type-R will not have this change though, too bad, as it is way better visually!

The American Automotive world f'ing sucks.......

SCOOP: European Hyundai Veloster Coupe Shows its Face, will get 1.6-liter Turbo with 208HP

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/01/scoop...ster-coupe.html

^ Gallery of pics there

Why is it we keep getting screwed and the hot hatches are not coming here???
Wow, I'm really pissed.
The Veloster is not the looker I would like it to be, but with 208, it is a hot hatch and I would be more than happy to buy a Hyundai
We should do a meet in Europe and drive all the hot hatches we will never see here.

yep....the roof ends in a spoiler like design. The rear glass panel is different.

Where did you find this?

So, when is Honda releasing their pushrod configuration?
Don't forget the carburetor...Honda'll be right on the path to competing in NASCAR in no time...

I read somewhere that NASCAR is considering moving to fuel injection to cut down on emissions and make itself a GREEN sport. I think Accord Hybrid would kick a$$ in NASCAR. Just give it to Danica.


The Inside Line story may very well be true. I highly doubt Honda will launch a CR-Z minus the hybrid drive train. So the weight will be the same but the horsepower will see a bump. That a way Im thinking acceleration should be on par with Civic Si, and handling could be around the same if not better.

From SEMA
The Eibach car clearly shows how easy it is to make the back better looking, just paint that lower hatch piece black, blend it to the glass, not to the rest of the body color




And the HPD car clearly shows the A-pillar ought to be body colored not black
