The Veloster isn't sold as a hot hatch but a faster version of the regular car (no suspension mods) and it's built on the decidedly unsporty Elantra platform (Mac struts, torsion beam).
Different cars for different markets.

Not to mention it probably feels quite fast with the turbo (even though it may not be) and is probably a bit more practical. It is a nice car to be sure, but at the end of the day it's fwd with a chassis that doesn't like to be abused.
