    On my way to work this morning, I saw this on the freeway. Hyundai emblems and the car driving in front of it was a Hyundai Genesis (both had Michigan license plates). Turning the brightness up on your monitor will help if the images look dark.

    More images below. From the image of the side window, you can see that the dash is all taped up.

    Dude, how are you getting all of these shots of pre-production vehicles?

    Yup, the Veloster.. But damn, that's a huge blindspot in the C/D pillar area!

    Looks like a CR-Z and the Volvo C30 had an orgy with an RX-8 and Focus.

    It's pretty strange how the right hand side of that vehicle is all banged up

    Also this is the 5-door version compared 3-door version shown in the link provided above.

    It's a "4" door, the passenger side has that extra door, the driver side does not.

    I would be concerned about blind spots.
    I don't think it looks "horrible" from the side or rear. But, I don't like those front headlight/grill "slits"...IMO makes it look like it has had plastic surgery that went bad.

    It's not conservative...I'll give it some points for that...

    I live in Orange County and I work in San Diego. Along Camp Pendleton, over the years, I've seen dozens of pre-production vehicles being tested. I'm not sure why that's such a popular testing location for the manufacturers, but it is. I have other vehicle pics (Dodge and Mercedes SUVs) that I have taken over the past year, but I didn't really see an SUV as anything exciting on Priuschat.

    LOL, can't get that visual out of my head. It's an adult film spoof of "Cars".

    With those blind spots to the rear, it's not strange at all:D

    The tail lights remind me of a giant insect...or alien.
