I wonder how long it will be before they drop the Cupra?

You don't need a 210ps 240ps and a 265ps all in the same range.

I'm sure they did this with the previous Leon e.g Cupra first then a Cupra R and dropped the Cupra once all produced had been sold.

dont think they will mate , i read somewhere that the Cupra R will only be available in limited numbers to start , 100 rings a bell.

Seat also said that when they introduced the 210 Cupra R and the 225 Cupra R.

Can't remember the exact numbers quoted but it is a good sales ploy to make people think they are getting a limited edition special!
 
I think the market as a whole is afraid for sales figures, especially as scrappage is probably going to end and the VAT goes back upto 17.5% in New Year. So they are likely being cautious and production at Martorell is already running at half its usual capacity.

My expectation was a Spring release anyway.
 
I'm definitely liking that, especially the grilles and wheels! [B)]

Was at least hoping to be able to order it before January with the slim hope of it being available for March - seems Seat are forgetting it's UK market as they've been able to order it in Spain since October :(
 
I'm back at work on wed, I can simulate an order and see what it comes up with.

We are being told it is going to be around the £23k mark as i'm sure your aware.
 
Any luck with the order?!?!?

Funny enough I just tried it now and got this polite error message from SEAT 'FB0164 VALIDATION ERROR IN THE NAME OF THE TRADE COMMERCIAL DENOMINATION EXCLUDED IN THOSE DATES'

I.E No it can't be ordered:cry:

Gonna make some calls to see if I can get anymore insight in to when we can order it.
 
Still waiting for details on this, I see.

A dealer I spoke to this weekend reckoned June, but some details of the UK spec would be nice as I'm not sure I want to take my FR with DSG out of warranty next year...
