Limited numbers suits the situation with a Veloster IMHO. If it was an Elantra GT N (i30 N as in Europe AND on US racetracks
![Poke :stick:](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/stickpoke.gif)
), then there would be more volume. Veloster buyers demographic is likely more young, tech obsessed, don't care much about power and seriously fine tuning suspension, something that looks different and so on.
Sad to see at this point that beyond this N track focused Veloster, all they want to add for Canada is poseur appearance packages and no real power with other cars in the N line.
I suppose they intentionally want to leave the budget compact luxury/performance (2.0 turbo) market to VWGTi/R in the hatchbacks, and the soon upcoming VW Jetta GLi, Acura ILX (when they put an optional engine in), Subaru, Audi 3 and so on, in sedans. A smarter move would be the European and American N 250 HP 2.0 with an automatic or manual, 18" classy light coloured multispoke wheels, more luxury (sound deadening, audio etc.), perhaps in the Elantra Sport sedan (an N version just announced in Europe), and/or Elantra GT. Priced above the current Sport Tech of course, call it Grand Sport.
