They say Ve lost er ;D
I say Velo star  ::)
What do you say  ???

Hyundai can pronounce it any way they want and it makes sense, but have to admit my way sounds way better to me. Heck who wants to be Lost? I'd much rather be a Star.

People choosing it, like Mrs. Saffy, can't be faulted for their wisdom (husbands excluded in the case of the Mrs Saff). Nice package and pricing and pretty good looks too, but that name.....I dunno. ;)

I pronounced it the way you did until I saw my first Velostar commercial and took notice how Hyundai pronounces it.  I kinda like it better they way Hyundai pronounces it myself, reminds me of some kind of ferocious dinosaur.  lol   :)

Boo!
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Tough crowd.  ;D
