Thread: More Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Veloster... or is that Tiburon?

that is NOT the elantra...pics of the new elantra have been out.....and no its not a tib either....the veloster is actually on the smaller side...think of Saturn/opel astra...its based off the MC accent. i'm hoping it has the independent rear suspension though. and it will have more then likely have the 1.6 turbo.

I thought that the Gen Coupe was the remake of the Tiburon, and im pretty sure that the car in the picture will be some kind of new crossover

concept image of the veloster

For those wondering why Hyundai would bring back the tib...remember that the tib is a much less expensive vehicle. The Coupe is part of the Genesis line that could one day end up as Hyundai's luxury brand. The tib is sporty but not the same kind of car.

That is in no way shape or form a tib haha. Gotta be something new.

From what I understand the Genesis Coupe fills that RWD Sports/Luxury segment and the Tiburon will fill the FWD sports/economic segment.
ie: GC vs. G37c vs. 370z, Tiburon vs. Civic vs. Eclipse

GC = Tiburon done right

like i mentioned the volestor is based off of the MC accent and will actually be slightly smaller then the tib and yes it will fit hyundais front drive segment. think closer to the new gti

while the coupe does have some tib cues (rear diffuser and front endlights) thats where it ends!!

just looking at the front windshield i can see a resemblance to the veloster.
