Thanks....I'm into quirky little Turbo cars. I have the Veloster Turbo, a '64 Corvair Monza Spyder Turbo, and a 1982 VW Caddy Turbo Diesel. (truck)

I think the Mustang Turbo might be next!

This is abnormal, I test drove the ST with zero resistence from the dealer.

My Veloster Turbo has that!!!! Yes I bought a Hyundai. So shoot me. :

WHAT!! How fair is that! I mean no offense but the Veloster I was in was kinda squishy riding. Did I like it meh...yea but I am a bit critical of...everything. So much for the ST being a "world" car. The Euro models get a nifty remote windows up/down feature just by holding lock/unlock on the fob. We don't. Built in tow hook mount and bumper plug from the factory. USA nope.

On a side note the Veloster is a neat looking car, my baby sister wants one. I am not so sure she needs a turbo :/

The turbo is so much better all around than the regular Veloster. Its really just the sacrificial lamb for daily use and road trips. It will see 40k per year of use or more.

Here is my car...I added the red arrow to show the tow hook location.

Built in tow hook mount, hmmmm what does that say about reliability??? :-\
Just trying to stir the pot.

HA! Very funny. :

For what its worth my 1973 BMW has (4) tow loop locations. Probably the most reliable and fun car I have ever owned.

Nothing wrong with a Hyundai.

No there isn't.

As far as "stirring the pot" goes. MAYBE they were thinking of those of us in the snowy locations where getting towed out of a ditch is commonplace. Just sayin its very practical, as my Boss 302 and my ST are both my first cars, previously drove a 99 Ranger for several years. But these cars have me worried should I ever need a tow should I get in trouble via snow and a ditch. a tow hook would be nice.

That is pretty much where the Euro ST's have theirs located at. Really neat picture of your car by the way.

I am sure it is far better than the base Veloster. My sister has a hard time controlling her base Escort NOW...let alone a turbo anything. I spose I could teach her...
