2012 Facelift

[VRSLOZ]

Lights (on the FR), wheels and front bumper look

Looks like the bonnet has gained a centre crease also

Looks good for a facelift

Looks good for a facelift

Agree with that, guessing there won't be many, if any, engine changes.

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...

Love the xenons, not sure with the small grille. Hate the wheels though.

Looks alright.

This tbh.

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.

The last blurry pic..front looks like a lexus...or is that just me? lol

Same here. Think mine is going to get the side skirts, rear spoiler and boc headlights.

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...

 

[NathWraith]

That blurry pic makes it look like an A1, do not want.

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.

 

[Tonezz]

The new squarey front makes it look kinda like that Kia thing! :/

 

[Mr_Dave]

The wheels and running lights on that are gash. Do not want. Glad I want for one when I did

 

[char_baby]

Those wheels really are terrible compared to the LUSH ones the FR has now

 

[Mr_Dave]

Not diggin' the current FR wheels like everyone else seems to

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.
