It’s a great time to be a fan of small cars, and Hyundai is nearly ready to add its 2012 Veloster into the marketplace. If you’ve been waiting for this one to appear in your local showroom, we’ve got some news for you. Hyundai Motor America President and CEO John Krafcik just tweeted that it’s going to cost you $17,300 for a Veloster. Full pricing is due later this week, but that base price undercuts the Honda CR-Z, arguably its most natural rival, by over $2,000, while offering more room and the promise of 40 miles-per-gallon on the freeway.

While you’re waiting for our first drive review, check out our First Ride of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster, where Krafcik himself piloted us around for a few miles. Is a base price of $17,300 enticing?
