So Riff, I know you hate 4 doors but what about 3?

So Riff, I know you hate 4 doors but what about 3?

Thanx for the "links" (and they are excellent choices, too). Well; I still hate all 4-door vehicles, however the Hyundai - Veloster is an exceptional 3-door that I could find room in my heart (and garage) to live with. I understand their market strategy is tailored towards the small beginning families (or single mothers) with a single child. That's why the 3rd door on the passenger side for easy access to a child safety seat, because everyone knows that the right-rear corner seat of a car is the safest location for child protection. The Hyundai - Veloster has some very unique features for a starting price of only $17K. I can't wait to see and test drive one later this year. Very cool indeed.

It is kinda cute...

Wow, Hyundai and Kia are just kickin' our American buttinsky! This and Rowhard's new Kia whip! Wohoo! Have you guys seen how their quality scores have just gone through the roof! Whoodda thunk it just 10 years ago?

Very cool lines, looks pretty good.. ..is that TWO hood scoops???
Front's just a bit bulbous for my taste, but that may look different in person.

Oh, so that 3rd door is for my, um, Italian hardware? I see! Nifty!

Oh, most definitely...

In person it looks like this:



Ha-cha-chaaaaa...

If I'm not wrong, Isn't Kia an American car, domestic I mean?

I did read an article like 2-3 years back, that Kia and Hyundai said they wanted to start to compete with Lexas and Mercedes-benz, they said that they didn't even want to have a pit stop with Honda and Toyota, but go straight to the gold mind.

Wow, I just noticed how the rear tail-lights of the Veloster closely resemble the same shape/size of the front head-lights of a VX. Hmmm, rear-facing snake eyes. Very spooky comparison!!!

L-Dub--- x2 on the gun transport. Excellent 3rd door idea, my friend. Maybe with some slight modification, the Veloster could be a mini-sized Zombie Hunter vehicle. Time to ponder.

VX-KAT--- The 3rd door would be great for all of your eBay items that you buy & sell (and possible more cats), LOL. Yes; I too am flat amazed at how both Kia & Hyundai have risen to stardum in the last few years, especially with their 10-year/100K mile warranty. A lot of bang for the buck!!!
