Went into the dealership today to enquire about delivery date for car - still at least 2 weeks away :(
After getting the info about my car from the useful "back of house" staff i went to the showroom and asked the sales driods sat behind the desks if they'd had any orders for the 2006 model Altea...... all i got was blank looks ! - There were two Seat sales guys there, and they knew nothing about the model changes! !!!!
I stayed with one of them whilst i told him to go to seat.co.uk and see the models and the different specs / options etc.
Needless to say the sales chap was very very embarrased at not being told about the model changes - don't know whether its a Seat UK issue, or a dealership commincation problem.

We now have

The website [edit] has now been updated to include the model names
