According to my new September issue of Car and Driver magazine, the changes for the '14 Veloster are: " The base model gets daytime running lights and a rearview camera, and the Turbo gets brake-actuated torque vectoring and an engine-sound generator." They list no minor trim changes.

I'd like to see the full article
There is no full article. The September issue covers all the changes for all makes and models. So except for a few articles, most are just short rundowns for each model. I quoted everything from the magazine that there was about the Veloster.

What the hell are brake-actuated torque vectoring and an engine-sound generator???
and minor trim changes can make a world of a difference.
I wonder what their sources are...

torque vectoring is basically is basically a rough electronic LSD. engine sound generator is that they're making the exhaust be audible in the cabin.. the ford st does both of these

My Genesis has the sound generator. Its basically a tube off the intake running into the cabin so you can hear the car more. The torque vectoring would be using the brakes to slow down a spinning wheel and/or the wheel with the least amount of traction. Electronic brake LSD basically.

Torque vector is just a fancy way to say the abs system can match wheel speed to balance the traction like a LSD.
Based on Hyundais previous electronic issues I would pass on it. Just left foot brake in a corner to achieve the same result

Thanks for that. Still though, how accurate is this information? Is there a possibility that there are other changes?

Who knows but for it to come from multiple people I would think is is more likely than not. On the think tank I believe people asked about the 2014 and JFK said SEMA in November as well as hyundai performance parts. They probably only tell about major changes than anything.
I'm just guessing here, but I would think that the magazines get this kind of info from press releases from the manufacturors. I would bet that it's fairly accurate. As we get inhto the 2014 model year maybe there could be some other changes though just like the 13s got nuematic hood lifts part way through the year.
The VT only has the 'Ultimate Package' as a selection (sunroof, automatic headlights, Nav, 12v outlet & backup sensors/camera). You can add the various accessories (wheel locks, floor mats, homelink mirror, etc.) individually.
Ugh bleh. I meant to say that "the only part of the ulitmate package that I wanted was the rear view camera and now it's base." :haha:
