Definately lining up for what the Leon FR will be then!

Be interesting to see how the Leon is priced in line with this.

Altea's look £200 dearer than Leon's - so unless they goto town with extra kit I'd expect it to be cheaper (if you can say £200 in £18k is a saving)

 

[leonlad]

price is £17995 not £17795

£1300 seems a lot for 30bhp

 

[m0rk]

but what about the other kit etc

Look at the Leon Cupra -> LCR that was a 3k hike for 30bhp (when it was the 210)

all of a sudden 1300 isn't too bad

 

[leonlad]

they must of forgot to put the brembo`s and 18"s on the fr

30bhp + different seats and bumpers nowt else is changed much

 

[m0rk]

That's why it's 1300 & not 3k difference though....

I was thinking along the lines of standard equipment.

Still - not long until it's launched

im guessing there gonna have to put a few extra toys in the leon fr to justify the price if the 2.0 tfsi is the same engine.

the dsg box is mandatory for my next purchase so they better hurry up in put it in the leon fr.

but going by what the sales guy said today there wont be a dsg option for the fr`s

if thats the case used audi + revo for me.
