Congrats Chopper, I'm jealous!!! Without a doubt, the Veloster is the coolest 40 MPG gas mizer car to hit the streets by any manufacturer. It turns people's heads just like the VX.
At $25K loaded with all options, I would assume you got the normal aspirated model (2012 ???) and not the new 2013 Turbo with 201 HP which is gonna' cost a few more bones (about $27K). The Veloster's tail-lights look very simular to a VX's head-lights, and having both parked side-by-side in your driveway must look totally awesome. Unfortunately for 2013, Hyundai dropped the radiant Lime Green Metallic color which was very cool looking. Thankfully, the Veloster is still available in the Proton-clone yellow for 2013 (called 26.2 Yellow).

The Veloster 3-door coupe was primarily designed and targeted for the single mom or 3-person small family so that the newborn/toddler could be put in a child safety seat located at the 3rd door. This gives Papa Bear his favorite 2-door coupe side (thereby saving his manhood), while Mama Bear has her co-pilot seat and quick access to Baby Bear at the 3rd door location. Brilliant!!!
