Hyundai Veloster to Debut at Detroit Auto Show?

[AutoGuide.com]

Recently a report circulated online claiming that the Hyundai Veloster would debut at the LA Auto Show. The folks in Hyundai's PR department denied the claims and went so far as to say another "very important" model would be the focal point of their LA Show press conference. (That vehicle is believed to be the new Elantra).

The latest report, from the Detroit Free Press, is claiming (without a source) that the new compact coupe will arrive a month later at the Detroit show. Perhaps, however, this news story is just a way to fish out the real truth. After all, if Hyundai denies this one we can almost be sure the debut is coming in Paris.

It's long been believed that the upcoming Paris Auto Show would be the venue for the new model, which will slot in below the spot formerly filled by the Tiburon. The Veloster is expected to be powered by a direct-injection 1.6-liter engine making 138-hp and delivering as much as 40-mpg on the highway.

When is the Paris Auto Show and why is Hyundai so reluctant to bring this car out?

The Paris Auto Show runs from October 2 to 17 but those are public days. The Press preview could start late September. See 2010 Paris motor show > Home

Hyundai has been pretty forthcoming in bringing the car out. Concept to actual production takes time and is not a 100% guarantee for final release but this vehicle has a good spotting between Accent and Genesis coupe.

Paris Auto Show is only a few weeks away. I guess we wont have to wait long to hear news about it. Hopefully they still debut it there!

Or at least the concept again!

I suspect the production is not finalized yet.

Looks like we will really have to wait for the Detroit Auto Show to see the production version of the car. I was really hoping they would show it at the Paris Auto Show.
