Does that means more power for the 2.0 T genesis? Cuz if not they'll be in the same class.

Is this car FWD or RWD? The could get the transmission from the Genesis so it could be rearwheeldrive but I don't know? I'd be very interested if it's RWD!

If Hyundai puts in a decent limited-slip differential and decently sporting suspension into the Veloster with this new engine, it could make people forget about the Honda Civic Si coupe/sedan.

front wheel drive, bad rear suspension, max torque comes in at 5,000rpm....... but great fuel economy as Hyundai said.(close to US40mpg on highway)
