Official SEAT Leon V2 pics & report now online

[driveforward]

I think they've sat on the model for some time

Yeah, those shots of the 'production versions' (black and silver) surfaced a long time ago

Seat UK have a rather cool Microsite up for it already - there's a nice surprise! With even more piccies

(Url for it is rather odd though)

Nice...!!! That is one very cool site, really got my juices up...
Like the car a lot... just needs some real derv lump up front. Wonder how easy it will be to soot up the rump? And what will it look like in Ovni...?

 

[m0rk]

i hope they don't do it in Ovni, apart from the race cars

too much yellow i think.

 

[JK1]

Looks rather nice!

 

[Turbowayne]

Will there be a more powerful R version called a Cupra ???

or just the 197bhp option ???

needs a bit more i think !!!

 

[sportbilly]

rumours of 2L FSI T putting out approx 240-250bhp

 

[unicyclingtom]

sorry guys,

it's EVIL, absoulutly horrible and it looks like a people carrier in a nasty accident. I don't know where the hell the seat styling team are going, but i'm not with them.

When i'm old and need a high car cos it's easyer to get out of, i'll buy a landrover, before then i'd rather have my ass as close to the floor as possible.

Welll done again seat, i liked you cars, i got one, now you've lost another YOUNG customer!!!!!!

 

[b21playa]

looks similar to an alfa 147 from the back

i like the side view but not head on, intrior is mint

 

[m0rk]

it's 2" lower than the current leon

will you be placing your order now? or once you've read the information....

 

[Tam]

Agreed..

Go and visit that dealer web-site, once you have got past the annoyingly horrid flash stuff, you can get to see the tech specs for that car .. (the prototype i believe)

Compare those measure meants to the existing Leon, and then the power specs..

And it's looking good ...!

 

[coops]

I've been itching like a kid to see these pics, and they don't dissappoint

it's *almost* the salsa I've drooled of.


As per Altea Prototipo I doubt the Alfa doors will see production

Alfa doors Definitely WONT see production. Count on it

 

[unicyclingtom]

i agree the tech specs are impresive. Still the styling is well awfull. I think i'll get the new golf gti insted!

F U C K - Y E A H ! ! !

I think thats my next car right there...

Well having that engine is no bad thing by all accounts, very little lag. Have to see it in the flesh to make a proper judgement. I assume that the 197bhp version will be the cupra and so not released for a while?

That could be the FR version - in line with the golf GTI - the Cupra version would need something more...... in line with the R32

I'm willing to place a bet. Those test cars are production ready, I dont care what anyone says. Having been in the industry in a previous life (!) I reckon they will make production...doubt much else of the glitter will though

I REALLY hope so!
I cant see the door handles costing any more than "normal" ones so it would be good if they did keep them

 

[Goot]

*close eyes, clear mind, view thread*
WOW - I WANT ONE! MUCH better than the other snaps I've seen. Out of the "new" shape cars that are coming out, the new Leon still looks like its got the edge over everyone else.
Now all SEAT have to do is stick to the design.

My only worry is what the lower end models will look like. Hopefully they wont replace the nice grills with Ford Ka plastic bits!!

Hi All

Not totally convinced yet but the new states of a 170 bhp TDI sounds good! Will there be a UK 4x4 version too? Also Is the one in the pictures a Cupra or is there gonna be a Cupra version with a body kit?

Also what dates we looking at?

cheers

Danny
