Because it was launched with two doors on one side and one on the other, the Hyundai Veloster will never be a boring car. Heck, it's so interesting that Macklemore's Thrift Shop was transformed into its theme song. But that doesn't mean sales have been excellent, especially since at about $20,000 it's not exactly cheap.
Seeing its Gen-Y buyers were not into the car any more, Hyundai put more kit into the Veloster and turned it into a hipster's dream. This is the RE:FLEX, written with capital letters like an Instagram hashtag.

The Veloster RE:FLEX was officially revealed last year at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show and is a limited edition car of which only 3,000 will be built. Chrome dominates the list of changes, starting with the 18-inch chrome-finished wheels, followed by chrome door handles and other trim pieces.

A new paint color has been added especially for this car, Ice Pearl, in addition to the existing Century White, Vitamin C (orange), Ultra Black and Boston Red. Step inside and you'll discover the seats are either black or red leather.

You can only get the RE:FLEX with the standard 1.6-liter four-cylinder and six-speed EcoFlex dual-clutch transmission. Standard kit includes front fog lights, piano black interior accents, a 450-watt Dimension premium audio system with eight speakers including a subwoofer, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, alloy pedals and an automatic up driver's window.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
