the turbo veloster is on its way and there is no way adding a turbo will add 200 lbs... i just dont want this car to be another miata. the miata had light weight but low power. now this car will have power but not very light weight?

the veloster is FWD but its a hatch with all that glass in the back, and the necessary structural support that goes with that. also the veloster comes with plenty of standard features including a 7" touchscreen and 17" wheels. i would expect a cheaply appointed coupe to at least match this weight. or even go over a little. but 200 lbs more? that's a lot imo...

there is absolutely no way the US will get this car. i just dont see it. as long as the brembos and the LSD are available, i can see a market for them over here, like back in the day when honda Type R parts were very sought after in our market...
