The smart money is on a detuned version of the automaker&#8217;s new Theta II GDI (Gas Direct Injection) four-cylinder, which puts out 200 horsepower when fitted with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/sonata\">new Sonata<\/a>. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/genesis+coupe\">Genesis Coupe<\/a>&#8216;s turbocharged four-pot could make an appearance and there&#8217;s also talk of a 1.6-liter four-cylinder putting out around 140 hp in standard trim or turbocharged to bring output up to between 175 and 190 hp. Judging by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/30\/spy-shots-first-look-at-2012-hyundai-veloster\/\">recent spate of spy shots<\/a>, it&#8217;s safe to assume that the Veloster\/Tiburon is set to debut early next year before it goes on sale in the summer of 2011.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\">Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Veloster<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/01-hyundai-veloster-spy-feb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/02-hyundai-veloster-spy-feb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/03-hyundai-veloster-spy-feb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/04-hyundai-veloster-spy-feb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/05-hyundai-veloster-spy-feb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/22\/more-spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster-or-is-that-tiburon\/\">More Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Veloster&#8230; or is that Tiburon?<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:32:00 EST.
