Cupra release date

[bickers70]

I went into my local dealer today to ask about the new Cupra and was told it would definitely be out in September. They have now got the leaflets in stock though which is basically an OTT sales pitch stating how the new car is 'sex on wheels'.
Cheesy phrases such as:-
"If power is what you want, it's time to feast",
"the special trapezoidal-exit exhaust makes the most of the engine's 180ps growl", or
"appreciate the CUPRA sport seats you're so comfortably pinned against".
The leaflet folds out into a little poster of the car in a bullring and gives mpg and emission figures.

Looks very smart though!

At the moment I am leasing a brand new Golf TDI in Germany and it appears that the new Ibiza Cupra will be borrowing a lot of the same technology e.g. the aerial has disappeared completely from the roof (how fantastic is that?); the windscreen wipers detect if they need to do some work; driving lights (somewhere in between headlamps and sidelights) come on even when you've got them switched off (how weird is that?); and the parking sensors tell you if someone is pushing a shopping trolley. All we are waiting for now is the ecstasy and glowstick dispenser specifications that were elluded to in Paris

Out of interest (and being a derv owner!) what are the quoted emission & mpg figures?

hmmm wonder when there will be a proper press release about it telling us useful stuff

Out of interest (and being a derv owner!) what are the quoted emission & mpg figures?

The figures quoted are:-

Combined fuel consumption 42.2 mpg and Combined CO2 emmissions 159g/km

 

[Trumpetman21]

Not bad for summat with 180PS....

Well spoke to seat uk today and was told you can order new ibiza cupra from first week of july for delivery mid september, also special bkit released later in year like for leon

 

[Trumpetman21]

How much do they want for it it then?

 

[CHRI55]

dunno about the breaza cupra yet. looks nice but a 1.4 turbo engine, dont sound like it will be very torqueee. so will it be a case of thrashing it everywhere???

 

[cupra yk1]

is it not a 1.4 twin turbo the new ibiza cupra? ans i heard around £17.000 and seat are putting there prices up next month also.

 

[Trumpetman21]

£17K for it? They can stick it up their ar$e if that's the case!

Hi guys,

I went to a dealer yesterday to be told the new ibiza curpa wil be out April this year..... Im looking into a white one.....

Cant wait!!

I bought the Mk 5 earlier this month and the dealer said it would be out on a 59 plate, but why don't SEAT themselves just put out an offical release date?

 

[stu38]

yea totally agree, but then that's far to easy!!

 

[chris285]

i would start the debate about it looking like the bocanegra concept to get more interest, but really all it needs is the centre of the bumper made black and you are more or less there

edit - am sure it will be done by someone, and it will look stunning

 

[stu38]

Incidentally anyone seen the new Clio cup, wonder where where they got the front bumper colour idea from

 

[CupraSmitten]

I heard from my dealer today that it goes into production in July, for September deliveries - as stated above.

I have read though that the whole VW group are looking to reduce their car's costs - to be more competitive in these hard times. Ironic then that the new Golf GTI is rumoured to start at £22k, £2k more than the Mk5.

As much as i'd like to say the Cupra is going to be a great car, at £17k it'll be overpriced, and it's got tough competition i reckon, with the Corsa VXR and Clio 197/200s/Cups.

Also, if the Fiesta Zetec S reviews are anything to go back, the new Fiesta ST is going to be the weapon of choice in that sector (if a tad common!).

I kinda like the Ibiza's exclusivity and got very excited when i passed one the other day, much to the wife's amusement.

Might not be a Fiesta RS

I'm saving my pennies and pounds for a Cupra, however if its a small engine I'm not going to be interested. After driving a 1.4TSI and a 1.9TDI I prefer the stock TDI over a remapped and worked on 1.4 any day.
