Agree the no AWD is a bit of a headscratcher but from what I've seen from the Veloster N it seems they have managed traction pretty well. I imagine the target audience for this is likely very small even if offered with AWD, but its great to see more affordable options for the enthusiast, especially if they have a family and need a crossover.
