New leon FR brochure binned

[Harv]

went to the dealers after i got my brochure , had a look at an altea FR and errrrrrrrrr well i think they come with free st georges crosses stuck to the windows , not leather option and chav tastic FR badges everywhere .........................

sorry seat , give me a leather dsg 170bhp non chav wagon and i might consider it , but those FR badges will send ALOt of potential buyers and previous owners over to audi , mybe thats there plan.

 

[DanGB]

I quite like the FR badges lol.

 

[leonlad]

i have got st george flags on my car am i a chav

mind you there only there for the world cup

 

[Harv]

fine on the quarters but the seats and steering wheel ones are just to ott and no need ,

the no leather option is stupid as it completely changes the interior .......... and no flappy paddle dsg ? why.

 

[Georgie]

audi S-line all the way for me. i'm a surry girl dont you know..

 

[Harv]

thanks for that george ........... and yes a true surrey girl , but hey i won't give away any of your secrets .

 

[adam_tdi]

i read on here somwhere that dsg will be coming here around the end of the year, leather might be too.

 

[Harv]

yep dsg will come but without the manual paddle shifters which make it great in the audi i test drove................. leather looks like it will follow the altea route and be a no on the fr ,

No paddle option was the reason the other half didn't order a DSG box with her 2.0 TDi Sport.

As for no leather, the Sport never had it as an option, and apart from the stitching the seats look the same style as the Sport.

thanks for that george ........... and yes a true surrey girl , but hey i won't give away any of your secrets .

Had to pop into a dealer this morning to get a bulb holder replaced, so had a wander round the cars whilst there.

Picked up a Leon FR brochure and thought it was a complete waste of paper. It's full of pointless Photoshopped images, marketing BS and hardly any pictures of the car (inside or out). Looks like Seat's marketing department had a field day.

dont be too sure about that, dealer has heard rumblings about paddles on petrol FR DSG from jan 2007

 

[Harv]

they'll say anything to keep you from buying elsewhere ......... the audi had em in 2004 .

seat have said not paddles and no leather .

 

[barnabus]

care to place a wager on the paddles????

 

[Harv]

the no paddles planned yet and no leather has been stated by seat uk , they have stated the format will follow that of the altea which has had paddleless dsg for over a year now ...................also the leather option has not been on the altea sport or fr .

they may bring it in much later in the production as a facelift to rekindle sales ,but for me thats way to late as i'll be changing in late 2007

 

[barnabus]

ok then, if you say so, just so long as you're not changing before Jan otherwise you might get disappointed

Yep, that's definitely a picture of a Leon with flappy paddles on the steering wheel

Can't argue with that...
