The new 2012 Hyundai Veloster, which will go on sale in the United States later this year, is an interesting looking hatchback with its one long door on the driver’s side and two shorter doors on the passenger side.

According to a Hyundai executives, the Korean automaker is considering producing a 4-door version of the Veloster for global markets.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

    I am a near-40 year old, who is really anticipating the arrival of the Veloster.  Adding a 4 door model is assinine.  The Veloster is already based on the Accent, which is available as a 4-door hatch and sedan.  The 3-door Veloster allows Hyundai to produce a distinctive niche product at an affordable price, like nothing else on the road.  Even offering a four-door Veloster, makes almost no sense whatsoever.  Why bother with the whole exercise, and simply have made a 3-door accent then?
