Didn't like it at first, but it's actually growing on me.
Starting to prefer the less smiley look of the facelift, and those new xenons are stunning.
Not sure about the rear yet...

I like it, wonder what the Boc will look like. BANG goes even more 2nd hand value from mine though if I decide to sell next year :(

The blurry side on shot reminds me of the previous Civic Type-R; looks decent - I imagine the Cupra looking far more aggressive.

More of a facelift than I expected TBH.

The facelift looks OK, but wouldn't make me want to part with my current Ibiza. Still think that the current model styling looks slightly better overall. Would be nice to get some shots of the back end of the facelift car.

They changed a lot the lines in the front bumper making it hard to imagine how it will be the boc version. Still we need to see the cupra bumper.

I like the FR one look like the leon cupra/FR.

And for what the article says, those photos where taken in the U.S. probably going to launch it there.

Looks good to me, especially the FR. Wonder if they've improved the interior much as that's probably the weak point of the current model. And I also wouldn't be surprised if the 'missing' 2012MY features make a return...

Definitely looks a bit Mazda 2 esque from the rear:

Wonder if they will do an internet release like they did for the Mii sometime soon with the official pics and details.

I doubt we'll see a new Boc anytime soon, it is just a special edition at the end of the day. Probably be FR at launch, followed by the Cupra soon after, most probably with the slightly uprated 185PS variant of the 1.4 TSI from the A1.

They may also introduce the 1.6 high performance motor to homologate the engine for international rally / race classes.

Would be nice to see a 1.6 cupra spec car released.
