SEAT are handling the ibiza cupra situation badly. No magazine has even come near one yet even though it was revealed so long ago. Hopefully because of the delay thay can make the car look better and more like the concept.
Yea fingers x a he did say the uk spec ones will come with the 4 pot brakes as all pics so far are of the european version which are an option out there, we see
Did take the 500 Abarth for test drive today and must admit it was superb!! So not sure I can wait that long

Current market conditions for car manufacturers are very tough, as a result many factories including SEAT's have been reducing production or making preparations to do so. This maybe one of the reasons why this new car has been delayed.
That and the fact hot hatch petrol cars are seemingly unpopular in the market because of the current financial downturn they are simply not selling in volumes.
They are likely focusing production on other vehicles they believe will bring greater profits during this financial crisis. Delaying the Cupra until September may allow for some recovery in the market.
Alternatively it could be just delayed for technical reasons.
This is of course my own theory based on the information that is in the public doman.

you want to trade your FR for a 500 abarth
500 abarth is nice but a step down from a FR
Yea prob right zboyd just a pain as wonted to trade by then, must say though poverty it was very impressive drive firm but not to severe and build looked very good, on the ride front that my biggest worry with the new cupra, hope it won't be like the m4 cupra I had that was murder way to firm I thought
anyone heard if this is has been confirmed? surprised there have been no more press releases or anything about it - still really limited information considering it's supposed to be out in a month or so's time

Blimey, does this mean that my post No. 7 in the linked thread was correct?

That's a first for me. I think car manufacturers will be concentrating on cheap bread and butter models which they have more chance of shifting the current impoverished climate.

Been watching this with some interest. Heard a rumour a near 200bhp version special edition may be launched but then heard nothing since. Think it was called the Assetto Corse, but was due to be made in VERY limited numbers <500.
Used to own a Lupo GTi which was great but slightly power starved (for those of us running off it's slightly breathless NA lump - not like Badger5's 1.8T version). THought this may capture the essence of the old Lupo but with a big dollop of required torque, and a slightly wider / longer wheelbase to remove some of the skittish handling tendencies.
And is there still no word of a FR version?
Surely they'd sell more cars if the engine range was better. If they made a 1.4 TSI 125PS Sport, i'd probably buy one when in the summer. But at the moment I'm swayed toward a 1.4 Leon Sport

Are there any indications as to what sort of engine/spec it is going to have? My missus loves the new shape and it could make a nice toy for me to borrow..
