I like the Veloster N but this one is awful.

What is up with this trend of huge front and rear overhangs recently? Are we going back to the early 1980's?

I'm going to give Hyundai props for starting to bring out vehicles with styling that's original. They spend the last decade plus copying BMW, Audi, etc and I'm glad they are brave enough now to go their own way even if the looks are a little polarizing. At least the Elantra now stands out in the crowd.
There's a bit of rear overhang but the front is totally acceptable. |

Great to see that they are continuing pursuing more "N" models, and not just churning out suv after suv appliances. Although this could have been executed better design-wise (although the base Elantra sedan is weird looking as it is).

All the "supercars" have huge overhangs - I don't see anyone complaining about those designs? I'm not saying the Elantra N is a supercar

I agree. My R8 has a larger front overhang than my STI. Big friggin deal. It's all about proportions and if it looks good.

Not my cup of tea, I'm but happy that they are making more enthusiast-focused cars.

I think the styling suits the N much better than lesser Elantras. Wish the wing was more of a lip on the trunk though. With 280 horsepower, this should murder the GLI, Si, etc, but sounds like it's DCT only

Its confirmed to offer both DCT and Manual, its just that the press materials and photos focus on the DCT.

Pardon the terrible quality it’s taken from text, but with these updates I think this is WHOLLY fixed and worthy of purchase.

Look at the rear overhang below. Also - the approach angle on the rear of the Elantra is absurd. This isn't some offroad 4x4, good grief.
