By the looks of it, the Hyundai Veloster is in town – a car looking suspiciously like it, wearing front and rear anti-spy cladding, was spotted over the weekend in Glenmarie by reader Akmal, who has graciously sent us the photos he snapped of it.
There are giveaways – that distinctive door line that rises sharply to the C-pillar, the striking wheels the car wears and the equally distinctive exhaust configuration.
It’s already confirmed that the RHD variant is bound for Australia, expected to arrive in the market in late 2011, so it’s looking quite likely that Hyundai-Sime Darby will be bringing this one in, if the mule is any indication.
More photos after the jump.
